Director of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades (Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports) Demetris Athanasoulis, archaeologist Maria Konioti, and architect engineer Eleni Georgouli talk to TBIH's Hunghsi Chao about the Monument of Episkopi project. It won the European Heritage Award / Europa Nostra Award 2022 in the category Conservation and Adaptive Reuse.
The monument of Episkopi on the island of Sikinos is an architectural testimony of the transition from a Roman-era mausoleum to a Byzantine-era Christian church. Affected by destructive earthquakes and human interventions throughout the centuries, the monument has been restored by the Ephorate of Antiquities of the Cyclades. The implementation of the project of reinforcement and restoration managed to preserve the monument’s authenticity, limiting the impact of interventions to the minimum. Episkopi is bestowed upon the Sikinians as a material expression of their diachronic identity, as well as a valuable resource for the sustainable development of the island.
