Restoration works at the Holy Great Monastery of Vatopedi (1997 – 2000)
The Holy Monastery of Vatopedi is a huge building complex with a built-up area of 35.000 square meters, while the Sketes and Cells that belong to it have a built-up area of over 50.000 square meters. According to the opinion of experts, the building complex of the Holy Monastery in 1990 was in a critical condition due to its long-term lack of systematic maintenance, the numerous damages caused by time, as well as the urgent needs for its modernization. Since 1990, approximately 1/3 of the Monastery has been restored.
