Acropolis of Athens and its monuments are universal symbols of classical spirit and civilization and form greatest architectural and artistic complex bequeathed by Greek Antiquity to the world.
In 5th Century BC, Athens, following victory against Persians and establishment of democracy, took a leading position amongst other city-states of the ancient world. In age that followed, as thought and art flourished, an exceptional group of artists put into effect ambitious plans of Athenian statesman Pericles and, under inspired guidance of sculptor Pheidias, transformed rocky hill into a unique monument of thought and arts. Most important monuments were built during that time: Parthenon, built by Ictinus, Erechtheon, Propylaea, monumental entrance to Acropolis, designed by Mnesicles and small temple Athena Nike.
Acropolis of Athens contains within its boundaries all key attributes that convey property’s Outstanding Universal Value, as an ensemble of unique splendor in excellent condition. Perfection of ancient building techniques ensured the resistance of monuments to natural forces through time. Despite unavoidable damage of time, they still display their beauty and convey their inestimable artistic and historic value, preserving all features that directly and tangibly associate them with events and ideas of Democracy and Philosophy. Inevitably, vicissitudes of history between 5th Century BC, and our days have caused extensive damage that is being successfully addressed with ongoing restoration and conservation works, which increase both stability and legibility of monuments.
