3 | The Restoration Works

The Greek Ministry of Culture has been systematically doing restoration works in the Castle Town of Servia since the 1980s. In 1987, restoration works were carried out on the curtain wall of the citadel, while parts of the western tower that showed signs of damage were strengthened. From 1995 to 2000, consolidation works and wall painting conservation were carried out in the Basilica and the church of Agioi Anargyroi, while in 2014, restoration was done in the church of Agioi Theodoroi. From 2005 to 2023, co-financed by Greece and the European Union, in three consecutive phases, work was conducted focusing on fixing and restoring parts of the castle in the middle wall, the external walls, and their gates, but mainly on the citadel and its fortification, with comprehensive restoration work on the northern and western towers.
