This initiative, which highlights the impressive volume and geometry of the temple while reducing light pollution, is an exemplary example of sustainable retrofitting – a critical approach to preserving historic sites without altering their essence.
The Temple of Neptune is just one example of how historic sites can benefit from sustainable lighting practices. Projects such as these not only preserve the aesthetic and cultural value of these sites, but also set new standards for energy efficiency and environmental care in the conservation of heritage buildings.

This effort is in line with the objectives of the Culture Lights project, an Erasmus+ initiative dedicated to the implementation of sustainable lighting solutions for cultural buildings. By integrating modern technology with respect for cultural heritage, Culture Lights aims to transform the way we light and experience our monuments. The project emphasizes reducing environmental impact while enhancing the visibility and appreciation of this cultural heritage.
Through PEDMEDE‘s participation in Culture Lights, we are committed to promoting sustainable practices in the construction and upgrading of historic monuments. As part of this initiative, training seminars will be held for industry professionals, helping them to adopt innovative techniques for lighting and preserving these iconic structures while minimizing their environmental footprint.
