Ancient Theatre of the Asklepieion | Greece



Postcard
The Asklepeion is an example of the typical health centre of the Ancient World.

Asclepius, god of Healing, had many sanctuaries erected in his honour. However, amongst those the sanctuary at Epidaurus is arguably the most important. Not only because it was believed to be the birthplace of Asclepius, but also due to the variety of treatments it could offer within its large complex.

Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
