OUR 'LET's GET STARTED' campaign

Ancient theatre of Gitana

·         A programmatic agreement for € 100,000 has been signed between the Ministry of Culture and the Region of Epirus, for the documentation and protection of the ancient theatre of Gitana, in Thesprotia.
 

·         Works at the ancient theatre of Gitana are underway. The project aims at documenting and collecting the necessary archaeological data by continuing the excavation research. Another aim is to take preparatory protection measures for the ancient theatre that will allow the realization of a monument restoration study in the future.
 

·         With money deposited in the “money box” bank account for the monument, in January 11, 2013, Diazoma assigned the contract for the project “Exploration of the possibilities of 3D Laser Scanner in the documentation of monuments: Creation of a 3D digital model of the ancient theater in Gitana” to the Democritus University of Thrace.
 

·         The modification of the Programmatic Agreement and the decision to increase the original budget by € 30,000 have already been signed in order to allow the assignments of the required rehabilitation studies to also join the funding program.
 

·         The procedure for the assignment of the theatre's required rehabilitation studies is also in progress.
