The Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports has put forward a ‘Strategic Plan of Interventions’ for the restoration and preservation of the ancient walls surrounding the Acropolis in Athens.
According to an announcement by the Greek Ministry, the strategic plan clarifies the necessary interventions for the ancient walls, the risk in terms of structural stability of each area of the walls, and the conservation status of the stones.
The “complete reconstruction of the promenade” at the Acropolis is also planned in phases.
“The main objective of the Strategic Plan is to create a road map of the necessary interventions to ensure the stability of the wall and highlight its archaeological and historical value,” Greece’s Minister of Culture and Sports, Lina Mendoni, said.
The strategic plan was recently approved by the Central Archaeological Council of Greece and will be funded by the EU Recovery Fund.
A total sum of ten million euros has been allocated for preservation and restoration works on the monuments of the Acropolis.
