Established in the mid-10th century, it is a significant monument of Middle Byzantine architecture and art, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990, alongside the monasteries of Nea Moni and Daphnion. Situated on the scenic slopes of Mount Helicon, the monastery was founded in the early 10th century AD by the hermit Venerable Luke of Steiris, whose relics remain there today.
-
Delphi Archaeological Museum - The Archaeological Museum of Delphi is one of Greece’s most important museums, showcasing the history of the renowned Delphic sanctuary and the ancient Greek world’s most famous oracle. Its extensive collections primarily feature architectural sculptures, statues, and micro-artworks, dedications from the faithful to the sanctuary, reflecting its religious, political, and artistic significance throughout history, from the foundation of the Apollonian temple in the 8th century BC to its decline in late antiquity.
-
Temple of Apollo - The visible ruins of the Temple of Apollo date back to the fourth century BC and are of a peripteral Doric structure. It was constructed by Spintharus, Xenodoros, and Agathon on the remains of an earlier temple from the sixth century BC, which was built on the site of a seventh-century BC structure attributed in legend to architects Trophonios and Agamedes.
-
The Tholos of Delphi - The tholos at the sanctuary of Athena Pronaea is a circular building constructed between 380 and 360 BC. It featured 20 Doric columns with an exterior diameter of 14.76 meters and 10 Corinthian columns inside. Located about half a mile from the main ruins at Delphi, three of the Doric columns have been restored, making it a popular spot for tourists to take photographs.
-
Ancient Stadium of Delphi - The Stadium of Delphi is situated at the highest point of the Archaeological Site of Delphi. It overlooks the sanctuary of Apollo and offers views of the Delphic landscape. Built in the second half of the 4th century BC or possibly after the Galatian attacks, it measures 178 meters in length and underwent several refurbishments. The Stadium of Delphi is the best-preserved ancient stadium in Greece.
-
Ancient Theatre - The ancient theatre at Delphi is located further up the hill from the Temple of Apollo, providing spectators with a view of the entire sanctuary and the valley below. Originally built in the fourth century BC, it was remodeled several times, notably in 160/159 BC at the expense of King Eumenes II of Pergamon and in 67 AD during Emperor Nero’s visit.
-
Delphi - Nestled at the foot of Mount Parnassos, in the enchanting landscape between the mysterious Phaedriades rocks, lies the pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, the most famous oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi was considered the navel of the earth, where, according to mythology, two eagles sent by Zeus from the universe’s ends met to find the world’s center. For centuries, it was the spiritual and religious hub and a symbol of unity for ancient Hellenism. In 1987, Delphi was designated a UNESCO monument. Today, Delphi is a municipality in Greece and a modern town adjacent to the ancient site. The modern town was established after relocating buildings from the sacred precinct to allow for excavation. Visitors can explore the town and enjoy a meal.
