Report
Nauplion, Psaromachalas, 30th Noemvriou and Salaminos Street (property of the Monastery of the Zoodochos Pigi, Aria). Ch. Piteros (Δ’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports the discovery of a 6.1m-long stretch of Hellenistic polygonal wall running east-west and preserved to two courses. Both the megalithic blocks and smaller stones used were likely cut from local bedrock. The wall follows the steeply sloping contours of the bedrock, and is likely a continuation of the Hellenistic wall found on the property of A. Armelidi at 1 Zygomala Street. The Venetian wall rests upon it.
