Troezen
Troezen submitted by Antonios : Ancient Troezen. The archaeological site consists of temples dedicated to Apollon, Artemis and Ipolytos, son of Theseus. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Greek town in Peloponnese Peninsula, the legendary birthplace of Theseus, King of Athens and slayer of the Minotaur.

A few ruins of the wall are preserved north west of the present village of Troizina and a tower in good condition. The acropolis was at the site of Kastro, while the city extended in the plain.
