In July 2026 the Greek government approved two separate public‑investment projects in Sparta. On 22 July the Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs and Sports and the Ministry of National Defence signed a €2.8 million contract to restore the historic Old Court building and convert it into the headquarters of the General State Archives of Lakonia, following a recent €30 million digitisation programme for the archives. A week later, on 31 July, the municipal stadium reopened after a €630 000 renovation funded through the Philodimos II programme and local resources. The upgrades added a new tartan athletics track, two FIBA‑spec 3‑on‑3 basketball courts, refurbished stands and ongoing work on locker rooms. Together, the projects illustrate a coordinated effort to modernise Sparta’s cultural heritage sites and sports facilities.
