ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF DIMINI

This site (Αρχαιολογικός Χώρος Διμηνίου/Archaiologikos Choros Dimniou) houses a large underground tholos (circular tomb) called Lamiospito and the remains of two palaces from the Mycenaean period (^14th century BC) thought to be those of the city of Icolos, of which Pagases/Volos was the port. It also preserves the fortifications of farmers from the^5th millennium BC: these men of the so-called "Dimini culture" were among the first farmers in Europe.
