Abstract

The Athens Acropolis is the public space for Athens democracy and the center of Athenian Empire. Her main buildings were built in the age of Pericles. Built as a gods’ living place, acropolis also bore the strong sense of history and humanism, which expressed the Athens’ citizens’ joy and empire’s inclusiveness. The acropolis was built by the citizens, while the building fund came from empire’s alliance. The acropolis took the multiple public functions: sacrifice, keeping the archives, treasury and public moralization.
