The restoration of the historic Church of St. Nicholas in the Old Town of Nafplio has been completed after more than four years of work. The church, whose original construction began in 1713, underwent a €2.7 million project focused mainly on repairing the collapsed roof and addressing moisture damage.

The restoration included structural reinforcement of the church, repair of the wooden roof frame, masonry damage on the side walls, and the bell towers on the western façade, along with new electrical and mechanical installations.

The first phase of the church dates back to 1713, founded by Augustinos Sagredo, fleet commander, as the patron of sailors. Its main reconstruction in its present form took place in 1836. 

During her visit to Nafplio, Minister Mendoni also signed a Cultural Development Program Contractnamed “Addressing landslide risk with innovative methods at the ‘Arvanitia Path’ in Nafplio”.

The €4.78 million project, funded through the Peloponnese Regional Operational Program  will stabilize the rocky slopes along the scenic path

The Arvanitia trail, known for its natural beauty and high visitor traffic, surrounds the rocky peninsula of Acronafplia. It is a pedestrian route (3–5m wide, about 1km long) that connects the western end of Nafplio’s town (near the “Five Brothers” bastion) to Arvanitia beach.
