Conservation study for the church and its relics.
The stone-built Church “Isodia (Presentation) tis Theotokou” in Stanos is at least 200 years old, constructed by the hands of local craftsmen. During the Ottoman period, as the population of Stanos grew, the church was expanded in size. The impressive wooden decoration of the iconostasis and the ceiling of the church is remarkable, as is the painted decoration that accompanies it, reflecting the Late Byzantine art of the local woodcarvers and iconographers. In the women's gallery, one can admire a rare collection of ecclesiastical and folkloric relics.

The project involves the conservation of the morphological and decorative elements of the building’s exterior facades, as well as the interior of the ground floor, first, and second floors. The primary objectives are their long-term preservation and their restoration to functional and safe use, in compliance with the safety standards required by the National Technical Specifications (ETEP) and the Legislative and Regulatory Requirements (CE) for such structures.

Study for the restoration of the building's architectural elements, highlighting its unique typological and morphological characteristics, and reinstating its use as a residence.
Located on the island of Spetses, the building is classified as a work of art, as it is a representative example of 18th-century island architecture and features remarkable architectural elements. At the same time, it is also designated as a historic building due to its direct connection with significant historical figures and events of modern Greece. It is the birthplace of Diomedes A. Kyriakos, Prime Minister and President of the National Assembly (1863), as well as Alexandros Diomedes Kyriakos, Governor of the National Bank of Greece and Prime Minister (1949-1950). This house was also used for many years as the Spetses Municipal School.
