Archaeological sites
On the summit there was an ancient sanctuary of Zeus Ombrios, the rain-bringing Zeus, with many offerings dating especially to the 8th and 7th centuries BC. Today it lies inside a military installation and cannot be visited.
On the western side an ancient quarryman's hut survives, one of two buildings in ancient Attica that still keep their roof. In 1921 J. M. Prindle of Harvard found a small Geometric and Classical site. Carl Blegen made a trial excavation in 1923 and T. Leslie Shear excavated in 1924.
We give no finds or dates beyond these, because no publication of the Ephorate of Antiquities could be opened.
Where sources differ, the text says so. No visiting hours are given, because they have not been verified. Check before each visit.
