THE PYRAMID OF HELLINIKON

The existence of pyramids, or pyramidal structures, in Greece is not widely known. Their story is both peculiar and fascinating given that these buildings still constitute an obscure aspect of the huge archaeological heritage of Greece.

The pyramids of Greece are the only recognised instances of pyramidal architecture in the broader region of Europe.

The structure is one of the Greek Pyramids surviving still available to study. According to research conducted by The Athens Academy, they reached the conclusion that the Pyramid of the Hellenikon was built about 4.000 years ago.

In the time of the geographer Pausanias it was considered to be a tomb.
