One of the most significant fortified ancient works of Thessaly, the walls of Ancient Pelinna, is being restored and highlighted by the Ministry of Culture. Within the archaeological site of Pelinna, which has a long historical continuity and a prominent role in antiquity, a series of works is underway focusing on the consolidation and restoration of the western section of the walls and the northwestern towers
