Did you know
The nationwide recognition of the right of immunity in the sacred area of Asklepieion for the establishment of the “Great Asklepieion” celebrations was a decisive event that occurred in Kos during the reign of the Ptolemies, in 260 BC. The local people’s pursuit to grant sanctuary to any persecuted person seeking protection in the Asklepieion, reveals their immense pride for its existence and the consideration of the temple as the center of their city.
