Maison délienne, Archaeological residence in Delos, Greece

The ancient house features multiple levels constructed on sloping terrain, with interior courtyards surrounded by rooms of varying dimensions and functions.

The residence dates from the Hellenistic period when Delos experienced substantial urban growth after 166 BCE under Athenian administration and maritime trade expansion.

The house incorporates architectural elements such as marble columns, decorated walls, and mosaic floors that demonstrate the social status of its inhabitants.

The structure includes water management systems with cisterns and drainage networks, essential for daily life on an island without public water fountains.

The residence combines different building materials including gneiss, granite, marble, and porous stone, reflecting local resource utilization in ancient construction methods.
