Archaeological restoration and museum upgrades in Greece

Overview

Greece is undertaking significant archaeological restoration and museum expansion projects in the Macedonia region.

At Amphipoli, restoration of the Tomb of Kasta is progressing with the uncovering of the burial chamber, installation of a marble entrance door, and flood-protection works. A new museum shell is being constructed to house the monument, supported by a €20 million investment. Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni stated the goal is to establish Amphipoli as an international destination similar to Vergina, with a scheduled public opening in early 2028.

Simultaneously, the Ministry of Culture is upgrading the Archaeological Museum of Kilkis. This project involves modernizing the current building and constructing a new 860-square-meter facility. The initiative, funded by the National Development Program and the Central Macedonia Regional Operational Program, focuses on the protection and re-exhibition of significant artifacts, specifically the Kouros of Europa, through specialized structural and anti-seismic studies.
