"Part sanctuary, part treasury. I wonder if the Delians left any silver behind?"
Misthios Kassandra, around 431 BCE.

Sanctuary of Apollo was the main settlement within the region Birthplace of Apollo on the island of Delos, Greece.

Considered sacred, shrines and temples to various deities were built in and around the town, but the grandest of them was dedicated to the Greek god Apollo. Another was the Hestiarion. Being sacred also made the town a favorite location for pilgrimages, festivals, and games.[1]

During the Peloponnesian War, the Sanctuary served as the headquarters to the Delian League, as well as its treasury until the silver was transferred to Athens.[2]

Around 431 BCE, the misthios Kassandra explored the place.[3]
