A tragedy unfolded at noon on Tuesday at the Acropolis when a 30-year-old tourist fell to her death from the Areopagus rock.

The tourist from Spain most probably slipped and suffered lethal brain injuries. The young woman was unconscious when an ambulance picked her up and she was pronounced dead.
