A monumental gateway at the western end of the Athenian Acropolis. As an element of the Periklean remaking of the Athenian Acropolis, the Propylaea project commences in 437 BCE and concludes in 432 BCE, although the project was never fully realized. The architect Mnesikles is responsible for the Propylaea.
