About the museum
Ancient Sicyon, a charming archaeological site on a small plateau surrounded by fertile orchards, is one of the best-kept secrets of Corinthia. It was a complete city-state with a temple, a palaestra, a bouleuterion (council house) and a splendid theatre, and it flourished greatly in the Hellenistic period.
The city was minting coins as early as 500 BC, with a dove and the letter san, as well as with the head of Apollo. On the site the ancient theatre and the restored fountain of the gymnasium-palaestra can be seen. Next to it is the Archaeological Museum of Sicyon, which has a separate ticket.
