Architectural Conservation of Archaeological Sites

In 2022, the Balkan Heritage Foundation and the National Institution Stobi received a grant from the J. M. Kaplan Fund, USA, for the conservation of the Theodosian Palace of Stobi. The British conservation company Skillington was contracted to work together with the local team. In order to support their efforts in 2025, we are launching a new field school that will provide a unique opportunity for students and volunteers to gain comprehensive knowledge and hands-on experience in the conservation of authentic archaeological structures in the ancient city of Stobi, made with Roman and Late Roman masonry.

In addition to the generous support of the J. M. Kaplan Fund, the project has received new funding in 2025 from the American Institute for Roman Culture (AIRC) under its Expandere Conscientiae Lumen initiative, ensuring the continuation of the conservation of the Theodosian Palace.
