Temple of Amphiaraos

The Amphiareion, the largest sanctuary
in ancient Greece of the chthonic god
and hero Amphiaraos, was excavated
by Vasileios Leonardos from 1884 to 1929.
Its buildings stand on the banks of a winter
torrent, Charadra, as it was called by the
ancient Greeks. On the left bank the official
buildings, the stoa, theatre, temple and
altar were situated, while the right side was
occupied by the residential quarter.
