Description

This site was only uncovered in 2011, and although there isn't much to see in terms of actual buildings, it holds a special place in history. It was here, in 335 BC, that Aristotle founded his Peripatetic School, teaching rhetoric and philosophy and engaging in discussions during walks around the grounds. Even today, the fragrant plants that surround the area still provide a pleasant aroma, reminding us of its special past.
