Here is the Nemea site. There are constant restoration going on trying to bring the ancient site back to life. Every site has different management, and hence different restoration philosophy. I like the way this site is restored. It's reconstructed to show visitors how it used to be, however, it still maintains the ancient feeling without using modern finishing like a lot of the other sites.
This is an almost 180 degree panoramic of the site. Please click on it for the higher resolution version.
This is the ruined temple. The Romans destroyed it when they went through the area and left only 3 pillars intact, a symbol of holy trinity. The restoration of the temple is slow. Each component has to be rebuilt and assembled. It's a very laber intensive and time consuming process.
This is the workshop where the molded components are rebuilt.
This is the tool construction workers use to trace the contour of the surface for mold making. You can see the coordinates on the surface of the female mold.
