Crisa, Archaeological site in Delfi Municipality, Greece
The ancient ruins of Crisa stand near Mount Parnassus, featuring remaining polygonal walls that reach heights of 10 feet in specific sections.
During the 6th century BCE, Crisa controlled access to Delphi's sanctuary and collected taxes from pilgrims until a coalition of Greek states initiated war.
The location holds connections to Greek mythology as mentioned in the Iliad, with tales describing its foundation by Cretan colonists under Apollo's guidance.
Visitors access the archaeological site through the modern village of Chrisso, where they can examine the preserved architectural structures from ancient times.
The fertile plain between Crisa and its port city influenced regional agriculture, with evidence of wheat cultivation and trade activities continuing to present day.
