The archaeological site of Mount Filerimos, acropolis of the ancient Ialysos, was excavated, studied and planned during the Italian occupation of the Dodecanese. Although the polis was the most influential deme in pre-synoecism age, it is not, nowadays, the focus of tourists as Lindos and Kameiros are. An enhancement intervention should attract more visitors: the consequent greater availability of financial resources would allow for a repeated maintenance intervention. In fact, a lack of a continuity in the fruition/use has significantly contributed to the degradation of the rebuilt church "Our Lady" and of attached structures of the monastery, which were designed in 1930s. The project - who also aims to facilitate the fruition and the understanding of the cultural offer of the site - prepare such locations for an antiquarium. The antiquarium would bring back to Ialysos the remains of the votive offers of the temple of Athana, which are now in Rhodes. The scientific project divides, in the two built arms of the cloister, the pre-Hellenic offers from those referred to the worship of the poliadic divinity, as shown by the remains of the temple where the church was built on. The exposure of the lapidarium places the coeval architectural fragments near the structures of the Early Christian church, assuring their protection. Moreover, the understanding of the stratifications of the archaeological area and the need for a safe terraced site set the bases for the planning of itineraries aiming both to direct visitors and to protect the architectural structures.
