Archaeological site of Corinth

The archaeological site of Ancient Corinth is situated on the northern foot of the Acrocorinth hill, around the Archaic Temple of Apollo. Extensive excavations have unearthed the city’s Roman Agora, temples, fountains, arcades, bath facilities, and various other monuments. The research has extended to the fortress of Acrocorinth, on the southern side of the organized archaeological site. It has also included prehistoric settlements in the Corinthian plain to the north, such as the hill of the prehistoric settlement of Korakas, Saint Gerasimos, Gonia, and Gyriza.  To the south of the organized archaeological site, excavations revealed a theatre, a Roman odeon, a sanctuary of Asclepius and Hygeia (Asclepieion), cemeteries, pottery workshops (Kerameikos), walls, as well as numerous other buildings, including the Frankish Quartier and a significant number of Venetian and Ottoman monuments.
