The Diploma Thesis concerns the redesign of the abandoned settlement of old Kariotes and the decommissioned Alexander saltworks in Lefkada. The two places, which are 10 minutes apart by car, are programmatically connected with the creation of a Museum around salt: its collection, processing and use. The aim of the Museum is to contribute to the promotion of the cultural heritage of Lefkada, but also of Greece, to the extent that it is connected with the -not so old- operational period of the saltworks. With this in mind, the Museum attempts to display both tangible and intangible exhibits, in order to enhance the local cultural identity.
