Aloula

Aloula (Greek: Αλλούλα) is a location on Pendeli, Attica, Greece. Its interest and importance stem from the fact that much of the marble used to build the Parthenon and other famous monuments of antiquity were from the so-called "Pendeliko" marble, i.e. from this mountain. Unlike the south side of the mountain, however, the north side remains in use as a quarry even today. Aloula, however, was decommissioned in 1940 with the start of the Second World War.
