On the slopes of Parnassus mountain, a mythological mountain overlooking the Corinth gulf, there, Apollo constructed a sanctuary, the most important of the history with a trajectory that reaches the 4th century A.C. Apollo choose the priestess via who, God communicated with the mortals. Soon the sanctuary turned into the religious center of the known world and received visits from all over the known world. The point that the Greeks considered the Earth navel was destroyed and the religious center closed by religious fanaticisms.
The sanctuary grew thanks to the offerings of the pilgrims arranging all the necessary facilities including the stadium. The gymnasium had an arena and circular swimming pool. In different parts, the pilgrims constructed the Treasures, special places for the gratefulness offerings to God.
