Památky v Marathonu

Marathon Highlights

Marathon's archaeological landscape is anchored by the Tomb of the Athenians, a 5th-century BC tumulus housing the fallen from the historic 490 BC battle. The coastal site of Rhamnous preserves a fortified acropolis and the Temple of Nemesis, while the Sanctuary of the Egyptian Gods at Brexiza displays unique Roman-era religious architecture. The local Archaeological Museum provides context with Neolithic and Roman finds, and the Trophy of Marathon marks the specific site of the Persian retreat.
