Unveiling the new lighting of Acropolis by Dimitrios Karvountzis
In the presence of the President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou, the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the Minister of Culture and Sports Lina Mendoni and the President of the Onassis Foundation, Antonis S. Papadimitriou, the work of upgrading the lighting of the Acropolis was delivered.
This is the first of a series of projects carried out by the Ministry of Culture and Sports with the aim of fully upgrading the infrastructure and services provided by the Acropolis with a donation and implementation by the Onassis Foundation.
For the first time, the lighting distinguishes the monuments of the Holy Rock from the walls, but also between them. Specifically, 9 points are re-illuminated: The Rock, the Walls, the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, the Theater of Dionysus, the Stoa of Eumenes, the Dionysian Sanctuary. The study of the lighting includes five more monuments, which are illuminated for the first time: The monument of Thrasyllos, the Sponsors' Columns, the Asclepieion and the caves of Apollo and Aglavros / Hourglass, as well as the Sanctuary of Aphrodite.
