Abai, Archaeological site in eastern Phokis, Greece

The archaeological complex contains a sequence of ten temples that demonstrate construction techniques from 1400 BCE to the 2nd century CE.

The first temple, constructed in Late Helladic IIIA 1 period, contained 27 seal stones which were later used as foundation offerings for the second temple.

The sanctuary functioned as a meeting location where emerging elite groups gathered to perform sacrifices and participate in ceremonial feasts.

The archaeological site near Kalapodi village maintains structural elements from multiple construction phases, allowing visitors to observe architectural evolution through centuries.

The excavated temples include a horseshoe-shaped clay altar and a dedicated platform specifically designed for conducting animal sacrifices.
