The very word Acropolis literally refers to ‘upper city’ in Greek, and thus can be associated with citadels or group of buildings constructed atop an elevated site (often hills with precipitous sides). To that end, the famed Acropolis (or Ἀκρόπολις in Ancient Greek) of Athens is one of the still extant ancient citadels that has survived from the ‘archaic’ times.
