Greece has been honoured at the European Heritage Awards
2021, the EU initiative for cultural heritage, organised by the European
Commission and Europa Nostra for the restoration of the Plaka Bridge in Epirus.
Plaka Bridge is a single arched stone bridge the largest and most impressive of its kind in Epirus. In February 2015, during a heavy storm, the river overflowed, and a significant part of the bridge collapsed. However, the project has restored the bridge to its former beautiful condition, to the pleasure and pride of all Greeks.
Founded by the Council of Europe programme the awards this
year honour 24 exceptional achievements from 16 European countries.
The award winners from across Europe were selected by
independent juries composed of heritage experts from across Europe. The
nominees were selected from 30 European countries.
Greece received a total of three awards in the categories of
research and reconstruction of the Plaka Bridge, the development of FIBRANET
Agency a Collaboration with Denmark and the launch of the CONTRASHIFT project
along with the Netherlands.
