Kastri, Phocis
Kastri was a medieval village in Greece, which was formed above the ruins of the ancient site of Delphi. The local villagers partly used the ruins in the construction of their village. The village was destroyed during the exploratory archaeological digging for the ancient site of Delphi in late 19th century. History The temple and statues at Delphi were destroyed under the rule of Theodosius I in c. 390 AD. The village of Kastri was built on top of the ruins using marble from destroyed buildings and, eventually, the precise location of Delphi was lost. George Wheeler and Jacques Spon rediscovered the site using an old description from Pausanias, and published their findings in 1682. Other explorers noted the remains of the ancient temple in Kastri, including Colonel William Martin Leake who visited the site in 1802 and 1806. In 1838, Greek scholars suggested that the village be moved to allow excavation of the site. In 1891, the French Archaeological School of Athens pledged a ...

Town The twin sites are on Greek National Road 48 linking Amfissa with Livadeia. The town contains extensive facilities supporting the tourist trade at the ancient site.
