The manhole covers in Makrinitsa are made of metal

 

and are square

 

, rectangular

 

, or round

 

in shape.

No colored or gilded covers were found in Makrinitsa, nor were any covers bearing the city’s emblem.

In most cases, it is not known which consumers the covers are intended for, and it is therefore generally not possible to determine the purpose of the cover.

In most cases, the covers are not particularly distinctive and are similar to other covers found in Greece.

Manufacturers
Some of the covers were made by the Greek manufacturers Delta Zita

 

or the British manufacturer NIF UK

 

.

Standards
The European standard EN124

 

and its associated load classes (A15-B125)

 

often appear on the covers. Other international standards were also found.
