Argive Stonecraft and Memory: From the Temples of Pausanias to the Holy Church of Saint John/Saint John the Baptist

23 August 2026

Argos stone heritage walk from Pausanias to modern marble carving workshop.

In the heart of Argos, where centuries meet within stone, the descriptions of Pausanias and the traces of ancient temples that once stood on the same site come to life once again. The Church of Saint John, with its built-in architectural fragments, becomes the starting point of a walking journey through history, art, and memory.

Following this, marble comes to life through an experiential marble-carving workshop at ElaGaia in Chouni, where participants will have the opportunity to closely experience the art of stoneworking guided by archaeologist Dimitris Kousoulas
