The time has finally come...

Pampus is being renovated and preserved.

In late 2006, preparations began to waterproof the roof of the main building, install domes over the large holes where the gun turrets used to be and preserve the exterior wall of the main building.

The front facade at the level of the engine room entrance will be restored to its former glory.

Now, in mid-June 2007, work is in full swing. Below are some photos of the progress.
