City of Delphi Crowned the European Cultural Capital of 2021

Delphi-Archaeological-Site1The city of Delphi will submit a bid to be named European Capital of Culture for 2021 with the slogan “Metamorfosis,” the mayor of Delphi Thanassis Panagiotopoulos said on Wednesday at a special event held at the National History Museum in Athens.
“Delphi constitutes a landmark for every Greek and European citizen that symbolizes the deepest and most important origins of the current western culture. The municipality of Delphi bears the responsibility and faces the extremely interesting challenge of protecting this heritage. Apart from the glorious ancient times, the city also features elements of both the medieval and modern history of Greece,” Panagiotopoulos said, noting that the nomination of Delphi is supported by the region of Central Greece, the Regional Union of Municipalities of Central Greece and the European Cultural Centre of Delphi (ECCD).
On his part, the local governor of Central Greece, Kostas Bakoyannis underlined that the centre of ancient Greece can become the cultural centre of Europe as it is the place that historically constituted the meeting point of cultures and development of new links between people.
