Ancient Palaeopolis in Andros, Greece
Andros Sights & Monuments - Ancient Palaeopolis in Andros, Greece was a flourishing capital city during the Classical to the Roman eras and is now a picturesque green village nestled on the slopes of Mount Petalo. The Cyclades' only waterfalls can be found on the mount. The village overlooks the remains of the ancient city's half-sunk pier, which was much lower by the port. Starting in 1987, ongoing excavations have uncovered three sections of paved roads, two arcades, and a Hellenistic-era building with a monumental propylon and colonnaded courtyard. Evidence of post-classical and early Hellenistic phases of this building have also been found. Unfortunately, the agora was abandoned in the first half of the 7th century.
