A marble-paved street, a square, a male head and a richly decorated building were discovered by a team of archaeologists in Philippi.
The head of the Eastern Macedonia-Thrace Region Christos Metsios has approved the spending of 2.3 million euros from the region’s 2014-2020 Operational Programme to carry out improvements at the Philippi archaeological site, a UNESCO World Heritage Centre since 2016.
The spelling mistake on the inscription of a plaque at the archaeological site of Philippi that informs visitors of its new status as a UNESCO World Heritage site was corrected, the culture ministry said in a statement on Monday.
