Tholos of Athena a beautiful and exceptional creation in Delphi

-
Εικόνα
The Tholos (Dome) of Delphi belongs to the buildings that adorned the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia. The impressive circular building dates back to 380 BC. It has been characterized as one of the most beautiful and exceptional creations of ancient Greek architecture. Near the Tholos is the fountain of Castalia, which was named after the mythical nymph Kastalia, who in her attempt to escape from Apollo fell to this fountain and drowned. In its waters the visitors got purified before entering the oracle. Just before the archaeological site we find the  Archaeological Museum of Delphi, one of the most important in Greece, it presents the history of the famous Delphic sanctuary and the most famous oracle of the ancient Greek world.
