#### Abstract

In this paper, we obtain the optimal condition of the curvature bounds guaranteeing that Euclidean cones over Aleksandrov spaces of curvature bounded above preserve the curvature bounds, by considering the Euclidean cone CS$_{r}$ $^{n}$ over n-dimensional sphere S$_{r}$ $^{n}$ of radius r. More precisely, we show that for r<1, the Euclidean cone CS$_{r}$ $^{n}$ of S$_{r}$ $^{n}$ is a CBB(0) space, but not a CBA($textsc{k}$)-space for any real $textsc{k}$$\in$R.
