The new lighting of the Acropolis was unveiled on Wednesday evening, in the presence of the President of the Hellenic Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Culture Minister Lina Mendoni, and the president of Onassis Foundation Antonis Papadimitriou, ANA reports.
The new lighting of the Acropolis was live-streamed on the website of the culture ministry – digitalculture.gov.gr – on the YouTube channel of the Onassis Foundation and live broadcast by public broadcaster ERT1.
According to the announcement of the Ministry of Culture, the new study uses lighting gradients in intensity and shades of white, between the outer and inner parts of the monuments, in order to highlight their architectural elements and enhance the perception of their reliefs, depth, and plasticity. As part of the technical upgrade, the phenomenon of light pollution is reduced.
