"Greece unveiled the restored western side of the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens on June 18, 2026. Two new marble blocks were installed in long-empty gaps, making the west facade appear whole for the first time in about 220 years. The work is part of a decades-long restoration project funded by the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Fund, aimed at repairing damage from war, weather, and looting."
