And you’ll discover your deeper self as the power of human potential and divine energy resonate within you.

The Temple of Apollo in Delphi was a religious complex dating back to the 4th century BC. The city was considered to be the center of the world by the ancient Greeks, who considered the site to be one of the holiest sanctuaries. In fact, Delphi was home to the seat of Pythia, the oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The temple was built on the remains of an earlier temple, erected in the 6th century BC, which in turn was erected in the same position as another of the 7th century BC. It survived until 390 CE when the Christian emperor Theodosius I silenced the oracle with the destruction of the temple and most of the statues and works of art in the name of Christianity.

The Archaeological Museum of Delphi presents the history of the famous Delphic sanctuary and the most prominent Oracle of the ancient Greek world. The collection of the museum presents some of the most important works of ancient Greek art, covering the period from the 2nd millennium BC, before the foundation of the Sanctuary, until Late Antiquity, when a small Christian community was established in Delphi.
