The Acropolis shines with new lighting, scattering a little of its radiation all over the world! The marbles, whiter than ever, reflect every aspect, every geometric shape, every natural material, emphasizing the relief of the decoration of each monument.


For the first time, the lighting distinguishes the monuments of the Holy Rock from the walls, but also between them. Specifically, 9 points are re-illuminated: The Rock, the Walls, the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, the Theater of Dionysus, the Stoa of Eumenes, the Dionysian Sanctuary.

The study of the lighting includes five more monuments, which are illuminated for the first time: The monument of Thrasyllos, the Columns, the Asclepieion and the caves of Apollo and Aglavros, as well as the Sanctuary of Aphrodite.


The study for the lighting of the Acropolis was not limited to the aesthetic part, but includes the significant upgrade of the existing infrastructure with the modernization of the electrical installation and the automation and control system of the luminaires.
