Abstract: 

ln the present investigation some geological factors of failure and intervention methods are applied in two representative monuments from Northern Greece. These examples refer to a) the slope stability analysis of the rock-mass where the Simonos Petra Monastery, in Mount Athos is built and b) influence of the groundwater conditions on both the weathering of the frescos and the stability of the Lefkadia Macedonian Tombs in N. Greece.
