An abandoned building stands in the premises of Athens Art School on July 14, 2017. A 1983 law for the conservation and development of neoclassical buildings obliged the property owners to restore them, but the 2010 crisis, the over-taxation of real estate and the absence of loans or State aid has led lead to their abandonment. "Currently, with the crisis, it is expensive and difficult to repair this kind of buildings, there are no more state aids, people prefer to abandon or demolish them," says architect Maria Daniil , specialized in the buildings of the end of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Famous for its ancient sites, Athens also has a neoclassical architectural heritage of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, of which the few remaining buildings are threatened with disappearing for lack of a policy in favor of their conservation.
