Delphi
Delphi formerly also called Pytho is famous for the ancient sanctuary that grew rich as the seat of Pythia, the oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The Greeks considered Delphi the navel or center of the world as represented by the stone monument known as the Omphalos of Delphi.

The functions of the oracle grew over the centuries to include athletic games, cultural events, most importantly the Pythian games.
