Hello everyone,
I have a question for you.
What is the correct thing to say?
"Parthenon is in Greece." Or
"The Parthenon is in Greece."
I opt for the second option but I �m not 100% sure. I would appreciate some feedback.
Thank you for your answers. |

If Parthenon was a city it would be "Parthenon is in Greece", but the Parthenon is a unique (specific) object so we say "the Parthenon is in Greece". |

Most (famous) buildings take the definite article.
E.g. the Tower of London, the Coliseum, the Taj Mahal, the Louvre etc. |
