Preparations continue for opening of ancient Amphipolis Tomb in 2027

·

A site inspection of the works being carried out at the Kasta Mound in Amphipolis, Eastern Macedonia was conducted by the Greek Minister of Culture, Lina Mendoni.

According to the toc, the first phase of the works was included in the Regional Operational Program of Central Macedonia-ESPA 2014-2020 in 2018, with an initial budget of €1,500,000. In 2020, the entire project was redesigned as the initial proposal contained significant omissions.

Additionally, the budget was revised, with an additional €300,000 from the PEP of Central Macedonia and €400,000 from Ministry of Culture funds, and the timeline for completing key milestones was updated.

The first phase, including protection, conservation, and restoration works on the prominent monument and the mound, was completed within the revised deadlines.

“The Kasta Tomb in Amphipolis is a unique monument in Greece, with international recognition,” Lina Mendoni said.

“Significant milestones for the restoration of the monument are now complete. The dome above the statues of the two sphinxes has already been restored.”
