Is the Parthenon still standing today?

The Parthenon as we know it today or the Temple of Athena Parthenos, as it was officially recognized in Ancient Greece; was the temple for Athena Parthenos, meaning virgin Athena. Athena is a daughter of Zeus and the Goddess of Heroic Endeavour. There were two Parthenon's, the original was destroyed and burned by a Persian attack in 480/479 BCE. The Parthenon that still stands today was erected from 447-432 BCE, and funded by funds from the Delian League. Funds that were safely stored inside the Parthenon and is so far the only verifiable fact I've found as to what might have happened inside the Parthenon in the late 5th century BCE.
