Nashville Parthenon

Nashville, Tennessee is home to a full-sized replica of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. Most out-of-towners are amazed that this exists but residents of Nashville appreciate it's uniqueness and are quite used to it's presence off of busy West End Avenue by Vanderbilt University.

These are a few pictures I'm putting here for linking to a different website.

Normally this is lit with regular light; the red lighting was for a special wedding. A guard posted by a tent set up for the occasion said he couldn't reveal the couple, but that they were 'well connected'! It's the first time I've seen it lit completely red.
