The Stadium of Ancient Nemea reopens today to visitors after a prolonged period of closure for security reasons, Deputy Development & Investments Minister Christos Dimas announced on Tuesday, greekcitytimes.com reports.
The 4th century BC stadium had shut down over a lack of security issues. The effort to reopen it involved the Society for the Revival of Nemean Games, the Nemea mayor, the Antiquities Ephorate of Corinthia, and the Culture ministry, all of whom Dimas thanked.
“Ancient Nemea is one of the most significant archaeological sites of Greece. The importance of its Museum, the Temple of Zeus, and the Stadium attract the interest of thousands of visitors from Greece and abroad annually, and have turned the region into a cultural attraction,” Dimas noted.
