Description
Site plan for the Propylaea of the Athenian Acropolis. Printed on plan: "Athens, Temple of Athena Nike: Plan showing relation to propylaea, 1:500, plan and longitudinal section, 1:200." Martin Pl. 97. "The monumental Propylaia admired by modern visitors were part of the great Periklean building program. They were erected in 437-432 BC, after the completion of the Parthenon, by architect Mnesikles. The original building plan was particularly daring both in architectural and artistic terms, but was never completed,"--Odysseys, Greek Ministry of Culture & Sports.
