Pope Francis returns three fragments of Parthenon to Greece

Carved heads of a boy, a horse and a bearded man, formerly in Vatican Museums, unveiled in Athens

The desire of Pope Francis to right a wrong has led to the official return to Greece from the Vatican of three ornately carved fragments that once adorned the Parthenon.

As the sun set over Athens on Friday, the sculptures were unveiled on the upper floor of the Acropolis Museum, purpose-built within view of the fifth-century monument to house the marbles.
