These reflect its religious, political and artistic activities from its early years in the eight century BC to its decline in Late Antiquity.

From there, you move to the ancient Theater of Dionysus, perched on the slope, offering breathtaking views of the valley below. The stone seats echo the voices of ancient performances and rituals. Higher up, the ancient stadium awaits, where athletes once competed in the Pythian Games, honoring Apollo with feats of strength and skill. The air is thick with history and myth at every step.
