Viggen Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 A light, arched structure, 9 meters high, is to be erected over the ruins of the Lyceum. When ruins found on a block of land on Rigillis Street in 1966 were identified as the Lyceum of Aristotle, it was one of the most important discoveries of recent years. Identifying the Lyceum had been the big question in Athenian topography, and these were the concrete finds excavated. But the ruins of this highly significant building were made of fragile material. No matter what the conservators and archaeological authorities tried to do about harmful rainwater, the problem seemed insurmountable. Luckily, just before the end of 2003, the Supreme Archaeological Council dealt with this outstanding matter by approving the preliminary study for a roof over the ruins of the Lyceum. full article at Ekathimerini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
