Ottoman Delphi
open-in-new
<p>The <a href="/facts/Ottoman_Empire/6QvfTRsg">Ottomans</a> finalized their domination over <a href="/facts/Phocis_(ancient_region)/XPJLJKoT">Phocis</a> and <a href="/facts/Delphi/IsyNrtAj">Delphi</a> in ca. 1410. Delphi itself remained almost uninhabited for centuries. It seems that one of the first buildings of the early modern era was the monastery of the <a href="/facts/Dormition/bx85ez8Q">Dormition</a> of Mary or of Panagia (the Mother of God) built above the ancient <a href="/facts/Gymnasium_at_Delphi/HKzdgqNn">gymnasium</a>. It must have been towards the end of the 15th or in the 16th century that a settlement started forming there, which eventually ended up forming the village of Kastri. </p>
