Greek Culture Minister Lina Mendoni concluded a two-day tour of the regional unit of Pieria in Central Macedonia on Thursday, ANA reports.
Accompanied by Deputy Development Minister Anna Mani-Papadimitriou, Mendoni met with Katerini Mayor Yiannis Doumos at the Town Hall to discuss the plans for the Cultural Center of Katerini. She suggested that the building accommodate more than cultural events, such as conferences, which interest the region a lot.
They then visited the archaeological site of Tombs A & B in Katerini, which are being conserved and restored, and the surrounding space landscaped, under the NSRF 2021-2027 funding and at a cost of 755,000 euros. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2024. The Tombs are off the Katerini-Thessaloniki highway and are dated to the second quarter of the 4th century BC and the last quarter of the same century, respectively.
