The Acropolis, for example (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

citadel

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">the acropolis for example</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(acropolis is a kind of citadel)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for citadel that I've seen before include "secure place" , "Urban stronghold - dialect (anag)" , "place of refuge" , "Fortress overlooking a city" , "Fortress (in or near city)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
