Roussano Monastery

Roussanou is one of the monasteries that brought Meteora into the Unesco's World Heritage Site list. It was founded in 1545 and was built on the ruins of even older church. The monastery contains wall paintings, wood icons, panel icons, and icon stands. The monastery can now be reached by crossing a small bridge from another peak. (Kalambaka, Greece / 2010)

Temple of Apollo

On the southern slopes of Mount Parnassos, northwest of Athens are the modern and ancient cities of Delphi. On the ancient city lies the Temple of Apollo, a part of Delphi's archaeological site. It was cited as Unesco's World Heritage Site in 1987 (together with the theater, the gymnasium, the treasury, and the "Tholos"). It is one of the most important and most imposing temples of antiquity. The ruined temple originally has 6 columns in front, and 15 on sides. The exterior used to be decorated with shields. Today, the visitors can see one complete column of the facade and the portion of five more columns. (Delphi, Greece / 2010)

Delphi Theater

The theater belongs to Delphi's archaeological site, and was built in the 4th century BC from Parnassos limestone. It has 35 rows of seats that can accommodate around 5000 spectators who in ancient times enjoyed plays, poetry readings, and musical events that took part periodically at Delphi. The theater is also a part of Unesco's World Heritage Site. (Delphi, Greece / 2010)

Treasury of Delphi

Being a part of Delphi's archaeological site, the Athenian Treasury of Delphi resembles small temple and was used to protect valuables such as silver and gold offerings of ancient times. Like other treasuries, it was built high off the ground, with thick walls, and no windows making it difficult to enter. It was built sometime between 510 and 490 BC. Standing at 6.68m, this Athenian treasury was made from cut stone and Persian marble. Just below the ceiling, there are remnants of painted designs. It has two Doric columns along the front. The structure is also a part of Unesco's World Heritage Site. (Delphi, Greece / 2010)
