Delphi - marvelling at this fabulous Sanctuary to Apollo which was a sacred place for all Greek city states - a place to pay homage and visit ‘The Oracle’ Archaeological excavations in the 1890s revealed numerous statutes, carvings, jewellery and friezes. Exceptional treasures. The Charioteer is my favourite - bronze state from 4th century BCE. Exceptional and influenced Mariano Fortuny #Delphi #Fortuny #grandtourist #educatedtraveller #journeys #Europe #Italy #Greece https://wp.me/p5eFNn-2rT
