Epidaurus was a small city in ancient Greece located on the Argolid Peninsula that is now represented by two modern towns in the Argolis region. It is significant primarily for its nearby sanctuary of Asclepius and ancient theatre, which were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 due to their architectural excellence and their influential role in spreading healing sanctuaries and religious practices throughout the ancient Greek and Roman world.
