Phanagoria, Archaeological excavation site in Taman Peninsula, Russia.
The ancient ruins of Phanagoria extend across 900 hectares of land, containing structures from residential areas, public spaces, and fortification systems.
Greek colonists from Teos established Phanagoria in 543 BCE, transforming it into a major trading center between the Mediterranean and Caucasus regions.
The settlement combined Greek, Scythian, and Sarmatian populations, creating a center of commerce where different traditions merged through centuries of coexistence.
Modern archaeological expeditions at Phanagoria continue throughout summer months, uncovering artifacts and architectural remains from multiple historical periods.
Underwater archaeological investigations reveal submerged portions of ancient Phanagoria, which sank beneath the waters of the Taman Bay over centuries.
