Buried beneath the unassuming landscape of Agia Eirini lay an ancient sanctuary that had remained hidden for over 2,000 years.

Spanning an area of nearly 4,000 square meters, the site contained an extensive collection of terracotta figures – over 2,000 in total – ranging from life-sized warriors and horsemen to smaller religious and domestic figurines.

The terracotta army at Agia Eirini likely served as a ritual space for the training and veneration of soldiers, with the figures representing both individual warriors and collective military units.
