Pyrgi was an ancient Etruscan port in Latium, central Italy, to the north-west of Caere. Its location is now occupied by the burgh of Santa Severa.
Remains of its defensive walls exist in polygonal blocks of limestone and sandstone, neatly jointed. They enclosed a rectangular area some 200 m in width and at least 220 m in length. The south-west extremity has probably been destroyed by the sea. It contained a rich temple of Leucothea, the foundation of which was ascribed to the Pelasgi. It was plundered by Dionysius in 384 BC. Later it became dependent on Caere, though it is not probable that it was originally merely the harbour of Caere; Alsium was c. 8 km (5 mi) to the south.
The Romans established a colony here, which is first mentioned in 191 BC. Later still it supplied fish to Rome, and became a favorite summer resort, as did also Punicum (Santa Marinella), 8 km (5 mi) to the north-west, where are many remains of villas. Both were stations on the coast road (Via Aurelia).
In 1957 excavations found the remains of a large temple with a triple-cella arrangement. The Pyrgi Tablets, containing texts in Phoenician and Etruscan languages, were found here in 1964.
Chios Video Map: http://www.atlasvisual.com/chios-greece Pyrgi lies 25 km from the city of Chios, is one of the villages maintained as it was built. Features that make the village unique are the narrow streets, numerous churches and the 13th century Byzantine church of the Holy Apostles. Pyrgi has become a preserved monument. The houses are tightly bound to each other to form a compact structure, built that way as protection from the frequent raids by pirates and the Turks. Residents could enter and leave the village only through a door which is currently located at Kato Porta (Lower Door).

Είναι το «ζωγραφιστό χωριό», όπως το αποκαλούν πολλοί λόγω των περίτεχνων διακοσμητικών μοτίβων στις προσόψεις των οικημάτων. Παρ' όλες τις αλλοιώσεις που επέφεραν σ' αυτό ο χρόνος και οι ανθρώπινες επεμβάσεις, το Πυργί αποτελεί ακόμη και σήμερα ένα ζωντανό μεσαιωνικό θρύλο. Η πολεοδομική του διάρθρωση και η αρχιτεκτονική του μορφή προκαλούν τεράστιο ιστορικό ενδιαφέρον. Η οχυρωματική του διάταξη είναι αντιπροσωπευτική για την αντιμετώπιση των εχθρικών επιδρομών. Εκείνο όμως που γοητεύει τον επισκέπτη με την πρώτη ματιά είναι τα Πυργούσικα σπίτια με τα «ξυστά», τύπος διακόσμησης της πρόσοψης με γεωμετρικά σχήματα σε μαύρο και άσπρο. Η τεχνική βασ...

A visit to Vicenza begins from Palladio, of course! Visit his last work, the Teatro Olimpico, and the Basilica (so called even if it is not actually a chruch). Palladio arrived in Vicenza in 1520, he began as a boy apprentice and he was helped to grow into a great architect. Recently he has been defined by American Congress the father of American Architecture! One has only to look at the White House...

Pirgi - http://www.onthebeach.co.uk Despite being found next door to the popular Ipsos beach, Pirgi still regularly attracts a number of visitors in the busy summer months. It is a mix of shingle along with sand and offers all the facilities you would come to expect for a commercial beach. Very much favoured by tourists in the resort, a lively atmosphere is created on the beach thanks to the bars found nearby which stay open late into the night.
