Reply to comment by w0mbatina in eli5 why ancient historical buildings haven’t been kept up? Why are buildings like the Parthenon and the Colosseum in such disrepair? Greece and Rome/Italy have existed the entire time? by PickledSpace56

It was mostly intact until 1687. The Ottoman Empire controlled the city and was using it to store gunpowder.
