• New enough, long enough, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. Image is pd. My only question is about the hook. Perhaps you could add a factoid that would make it more interesting than just knowing its date of demolition, such as the fact that the demolition was widely criticized?

• Good point. How about:
• ALT1: ... that the Frankish Tower on the Acropolis of Athens (pictured), part of the palace of the Frankish Dukes of Athens, was demolished in 1874 in what has been called "an act of vandalism"?
• or ALT2: ... that the Frankish Tower on the Acropolis of Athens (pictured), part of the palace of the Frankish Dukes of Athens, was demolished in 1874 as part of the removal of all post-Classical structures? Constantine ✍ 11:39, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

• ALT1 is great! Hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 11:52, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
