5 reviews of Athena Pronaia Sanctuary

Temple of Apollo at Delphi

The Oracle of Delphi is one of the most enigmatic, beautiful and amazing places I've ever been. Dedicated to the god Apollo ve had his grand temple in the centre. The Greeks came to ask the gods. From Delphi we can see Mount Parnassus, Pronaia Sanctuary of Athena, Delphi , the Gymnasium, the temple of Apollo, the Theatre, the Stadium, the peaks of Fedriades... a long list of beautiful places you have to discover.

the navel of the world (nfalos)

el ombligo del mundo (Ónfalos)

La leyenda cuenta que el dios Zeus mandó volar a dos águilas desde dos puntos opuestos del Universo. Las águilas llegaron a encontrarse aquí, en Delfos, donde una piedra cónica llamada ónfalos señala el lugar. La piedra, en forma de medio huevo, fue encontrada durante las excavaciones cerca del templo de Apolo. Estas piedras representando el ombligo del mundo eran un símbolo del centro, del lugar donde empezaría la creación del mundo. Al colocarlas en un determinado espacio, lo sacralizaba y lo convertía en el centro religioso. En el caso del ónfalos de Delfos, así fue y este santuario se convirtió en el ombligo o centro religioso de toda Grecia.
Legend has it that the god Zeus sent two eagles fly from two opposite points of the Universe. The Eagles came to be here, at Delphi, where a called Omphalos conical stone marks the spot. The stone, in the form of half an egg, was found during excavations near the temple of Apollo. These stones representing the navel of the world were a command center, where the creation of the world would begin. By placing them in a given space, sacralizaba and became the religious center. For the omphalos of Delphi and the shrine was and became the navel or religious center in Greece.
