This is a proposal for an architectural concept competition.
The proposal concerns the remodeling of the surrounding area of Eptapyrgion in Thessaloniki aiming at the promotion of the monument, the organized tour of it and the hosting of small cultural events.
The formation is proposed as a circuit of paths round the monumental complex forming a “necklace” of outdoor spaces that host city views, entrance to the monumental ensemble, parking, small open-air theater and plantations with plants in the Greek countryside.
