Athens: World’s 'first weather station' opens to public
Built more than 2,000 years ago, the Tower of the Winds is said to be the world's first weather station.
Used by merchants to tell the wind and time - even in darkness - the station is still standing on a slope on Athens' ancient Acropolis hill and has been restored and re-opened to the public for the first time in nearly 200 years.
