These initiatives, funded through national resources and the Recovery Fund, aim to protect and restore monuments while serving as drivers for local development and identity.

Specific regional investments have been highlighted, such as 42 million euros allocated to Thessaloniki via the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). These funds support the restoration of Byzantine monuments, works at the Bey Hamam and Alcazar, and digital transformations.
