Central Council of Modern Monuments

A conflict has arisen on the Aegean island of Serifos between the municipal authority and a private owner over the preservation of the island's 19th-century mining sites. 

In a marathon and at times emotional session, the Central Council of Modern Monuments (KSNM) of the Ministry of Culture late Thursday unanimously approved the request from the Association of Relatives of the Victims of the Tempe railway disaster to organize a memorial concert at the Panathenaic Stadium (also known as the Kallimarmaro) on Friday, October 11.

It seems the dispute between the families of the victims of the Tempi train accident, regarding the concert at Kallimarmaro, is coming to an end.

The Ministry of Culture’s Central Council of Modern Monuments unanimously approved the request for the use of the Kallimarmaro Stadium for a memorial concert on October 11. However, 26 families of the Tempi train disaster victims oppose the €15 ticket, arguing it undermines the event’s symbolic meaning.

The former hotel, located at the corner of Mitropoleos 21 and Komninon 9, is owned by Northern Greek entrepreneur Kostas Amiridis. This renowned building will undergo a complete transformation following an investment expected to exceed €5 million.

Over the last few days the Central Archaeological Council and the Central Council of Modern Monuments convened separately to discuss the problems and obligations arising from the huge but long stagnant development project at the old airport at Elliniko.
