ANCIENT MESSENE

Messene is one of the most important cities of antiquity in terms of its size, form and state of preservation, and still has much to offer. It had not only sanctuaries and public buildings, but also impressive fortifications, houses, and funerary monuments. In addition, it has the rare privilege of never having been destroyed or covered by more recent settlements, and of being situated in an intact, eminently Mediterranean natural environment, dominated by the bare mass of Ithomi where its acropolis was, and the low-lying fertile valley surrounding the ancient city. It was  founded as the capital of the independent state of Messenia by the Theban general Epameinondas in 369 BC following his victory at Leuctra,  simultaneously with the Arcadian city of Megalopolis.
