Strolling among its ruins allows you to connect with the political and religious history of the ancient polis, as well as enjoy breathtaking views over the modern city. The conservation and restoration of the monuments offer a didactic experience that explains construction techniques, symbolism and the historical context of its splendor. It is an essential visit to understand the roots of Western culture and to contemplate some of the most influential buildings of antiquity.
