Important ancient sanctuary that suffered two severe damages
in 218 B.C. and in 206 B.C. by king Philip V of Macedonia
The most important monuments of the area are:
1. Prehistoric buildings: Elliptical and rectangular buildings,
Megaron A and Megaron B. The two latter are currently under study
and their date and function remain problematic.
2. Temple of Apollo Thermios: It is situated in the northeast
part of the sanctuary. Two main architectural phases are distinguished:
the Archaic building, with rich terracotta decoration, and a second
structure, dated to the 3rd century B.C.
3. East and West Stoas: They belong to an architectural
type characteristic of northwest Greece. Platforms and stelae
with honorary decrees were erected in front of the East Stoa.
4. Bouleuterion: Rectangular building with a colonnade
on the north side. It was located in the southeast part of the
precinct.
5. Fountain: It was built to the north of the West Stoa,
and was shaped as a rectangular cistern with a semicircular platform
on the east side.
