It's found in Paris - cool in Athens (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acropolis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'athens' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'it's found in paris cool' is the wordplay.
'it's found in' indicates anagramming the letters.
'paris'+'cool'='pariscool'
'pariscool' with letters rearranged gives 'ACROPOLIS'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for acropolis that I've seen before include "Citadel of ancient Greece" , "place of high security" , "Upper fortified part of Greek city - Athens's is famous" , "Imposing building" , "Athens landmark" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
