How did Perciles finance his program to make Athens beautiful?

Pericles financed his program to beautify Athens primarily through the wealth generated from the Delian League, an alliance of Greek city-states led by Athens. He redirected funds originally intended for naval defense towards monumental architecture and public works, including the Parthenon and other significant structures on the Acropolis. Additionally, he implemented a policy of using public funds to support artists, architects, and craftsmen, fostering a cultural renaissance in Athens.
