27ο ΝΗΠΙΑΓΩΓΕΙΟ ΒΟΛΟΥ

On the hill of Palaia (Old Town), at the entrance of the city of Volos, the remains of a Mycenaean city that are visible under the Byzantine wall opposite Tsalapatas Museum were discovered. This city, together with Dimini and Pefkakia, constituted the palatial center of Iolkos.

The hill of Palaia has been continuously inhabited since the 4th millennium to date and is the historic core of the modern city of Volos. During Byzantine and Ottoman times the city was defined by the wall that collapsed at its most part in 1889 to unify the small town of Golos (Volos) with the modern city that had just started to develop on the eastern plain.
