The Lyceum of Aristotle, or Lykeion, is a significant historical site in Athens, located in a serene grove near Lycabettus Hill and the River Ilissos. Named after the sanctuary of Apollo Lykeios, the area hosted Aristotle’s school from 335 BC, where he taught for twelve years, shaping Western intellectual history.
The site includes the foundations of the Lyceum palaestra, where athletes trained in wrestling, boxing, and pankration, as well as a gymnasium central to Athenian social and educational life. Visitors can explore this ancient space, reflecting on Aristotle’s contributions and the site's role in ancient Greek culture.
