Pavlopetri is added to prestigious World Monuments Fund’s Watch List
Dear Friends,
Today, we have fantastic news to share with you. At the start of this year, we and our Greek Chapter of ARCH International, nominated one of our special sites, the world’s oldest underwater city Pavlopetri to the prestigious World Monuments Fund’s Watch List.
This is a very competitive process, with many contenders all seeking to make the list. Today, with the official announcement from WMF, we learned that our application was successful and Pavlopetri was chosen as one of the 2016 winning locations. We expect the resultant attention to help us safeguard and develop the site and undertake some of the protective measures necessary to keep this city in place for future generations.
