Archaeological Places in Trikala
Asklipio of Trikala
The ancient city of Trikke, an important city of the Thessalian quadraty of Estiaotida, stretched between the river Lethaios, which still crosses today's modern city, and on the hill "Kastro", where the ancient acropolis was probably located. In the city there was one of the oldest asclepiae known to ancient Tricky in antiquity. The earliest written mention of Trikkis is found in the Homeric List of Islands, which states that the city participated in the expeditionary force of the Greeks in the Trojan War with 30 ships and leaders of the two sons of Asclepius, Mahaona and Podalierio, who had been taught by their father medical art. For the beginnings of the city of historical times the excavations are poor and the written sources sparse.
