A landmark restoration project worth 5.98 million euros is underway for the historic Evangelismos building in central Heraklion, one of the city's most recognizable heritage structures. The building, which belongs to the University of Crete, will be fully rehabilitated and repurposed as a space for education and research. The Evangelismos building is located in the heart of Heraklion, making it easily accessible to visitors exploring the city center on foot. Once restored, the site is expected to open a new chapter as a cultural and academic landmark. Tourists interested in Cretan architecture and history will find this neoclassical building worth noting during a visit to Heraklion. No completion date has been announced publicly yet, so visitors should check locally for updates on access and any public programming tied to the reopening.
