“It is a project that is also partly funded by the Recovery Fund, hence the relatively strict timetables for its implementation. And yet another commitment, to be able to endow Greek justice with those building buildings that really deserve it. And I think this project, when completed, for both the ministry and overall for Greek justice will be a real jewelry, “the prime minister said.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis also pointed out that the new mansion would cover the needs of the entire coastal front, not only of Piraeus, as all the municipalities of the coastal front are now with the new judicial charter in Piraeus. “The new judicial map was perhaps the greatest reform we have implemented in the field of justice, and I think the results of accelerating its awards, which was also the real issue, are beginning to appear. And it is very important that this building will meet the needs of the entire coastal front and not just Piraeus, “he noted.

The complex will include, among other things, aquatic element and amphitheater, while the design provides for the preservation of Piraeus landmarks, such as the clock at the top of the SILO reconstruction, which was built in 1936.

“I am very pleased that I was given today, in Piraeus, to visit two very important projects that are underway: The New Judicial Palace, which will be completed in 2026, but today we are at the site of the new Apostle Museum. Antiquities, a museum that our country needed for many decades, as the Greek people, Greek culture are identified with the sea and in this new state -of -the -art museum will allow all visitors to be able to tour this So powerful and symbiotic relationship with Greece with the sea.

This project is funded entirely by the Recovery Fund, as is largely funded by the recovery fund and the new courthouse. It is a very good proof of the way European resources contribute to very important infrastructure and culture projects. And I think they are just two of the projects that really contribute to changing the whole of Piraeus and becoming the first port of the country really the city to be.

So I would like to congratulate all the services of the Ministry of Culture for the very important work they have paid to get to the point today to have an active construction site that is moving at a very high speed. To thank the donors, the Catherine Laskaridis Foundation, who funded the preliminary design that was so necessary to be able to move at very high speed.

And to ask all the services to move quickly so that we are completely consistent with the timetables of the recovery fund, which essentially obliges us to complete both of these very important projects for Piraeus and for our whole country, until mid -2026. “

For its part, Minister of Culture Lina Mendoni said: “The Museum of Antiquities is a pioneering and innovative museum, which highlights, in addition to the thousands of finds that have been emerging from the seabed for years now A catalytic relationship of the Greek people with the sea and the enormous importance, the historical significance of shipping for the social and economic development of our country. A new museum of 26,000 square meters will open to the public in 2026. It will be inaugurated by the prime minister, I want to believe in the summer of 2026. “

Piraeus Mayor Yiannis Moralis said: “We welcomed the Prime Minister today in Piraeus. We have supervised two very important projects for our city -both funded by the Recovery Fund: the new Piraeus Court of Justice, the most modern courthouse in the country when completed, in 2026, and of course, a landmark for Piraeus and for all Chora, this particular museum in Silo, of the Nine Antiquities. Imagine with the wealth of our country, what it means for both the city and the country. Piraeus is progressing and these two important projects make a great deal of positive contribution to its progress. “
