As usual, we continue saving St. Catherine’s ruins during the summer season 2015.

What awaits us this year?

Almost final preparations to let tourists access the tower, such as

• repair vaultings of large windows on the 5th floor of the tower,
• paving tiles on the 6th floor with scenic view.
• and put together a missing floor on the 2nd floor and a completion of wooden staircase.

From the last year, inside the Church we continue with

• repairing of pillar caps in the aisle of the church,
• masonry of the long wall in the sanctuary,
• and we also plan to carry out a masonry “experiments” on the northern wall of the monastery.

We will also go further with works in the monastery, especially

• repairing of the crown of tall thin wall in the middle of the monastery,
• and with conservating of masonry.

Archeology doesn’t sleep either. There will be probably still going thorough research of the second crypt in the middle of the church and also a small probe in corner of the tower will be carried out.
