HERA Restoration Center

HERA Restoration Center

The Hera Restoration Center was created as part of the Antica Kroton Futura project and is located in the renovated San Francesco complex in Crotone, on Via Giovanni Paolo II. The Hera Restoration Center will support archaeologists in cataloging, conserving, and restoring the artifacts unearthed during the planned excavations. It will offer spaces for managing archaeological maps, archaeological storage, study rooms, and documentation and restoration laboratories. The Center will preserve the unearthed evidence and continue the story of Antica Kroton Futura, continually updating it.
