The Archaeological Collection of Sagri is housed in a recently constructed building inside the archaeological site of the archaic temple of Demeter located in Gyroulas of Sagri. Due to the remarkably harmonious construction which is seamlessly integrated into the surroundings, the Collection has been honored with the international prize ‘’Europa Nostra’’. The collection includes finds from the excavation at Gyroulas associated with the cult practices in the area. They date back to a period spanning from the Archaic Age to the 6th century AD when the temple was converted into a Christian basilica.
