| Page Views: 817 Last Visit to Epidaurus: November, 2007 | Sanctuary&Theatre in Epidaurus by Kuznetsov_Sergey - last update: Jul 12, 2008 |
The Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus was the most celebrated healing centre of the ancient world.
The French Scientific Mission to the Peloponnese was the first to conduct excavations on the site. However, all the monuments of the Asklepieion have been brought to light in systematic excavations carried out by the Greek Archaeological Society (1879-1926) under the direction of P. Kavvadias. Additional investigations were conducted in 1942-43 on the Abaton and building E, by E. Martin and H. Metzger. The excavations were resumed from 1948 to 1951, and have been continued since 1974, mainly in the sanctuary of Apollo Maleatas. Since 1985, complementary archaeological research has been undertaken by the Committee for the Preservation of the Epidaurus Monuments. |

Hello, Sergey! I see it's a nice place to pay a visit... | Trekki Wed Nov 12, 2008 06:26 UTC
Oh how nice to start my day with an excursion to such an important place :-)) I wasn't aware that Epidaurus is home to famous Aesculap! I also like the Byzantine church of Ligourio and learned something: difference between Roman & Greek theatres :-) | volopolo Sat Jul 12, 2008 20:23 UTC
This is my favorite archaeological site in my country Greece! |
