Daphni Cave

The cave of God Pan in Daphni is a cave in Haidari, Attica, Greece, that was sacred to the god Pan. It is located near the Byzantine monastery. The cave is believed to have been used for rituals, including burnt offerings and animal sacrifices dedicated. The cave has a conical shape, with a depth of about 11.55 meters, an opening width of 7.8 meters, and an opening height of 3.4 meters, and the opening is facing north. During the ancient times, with a doorway serving as the access point to the cave. In front of this wall was a flat forecourt extending approximately 2 meters. Although the cave was formed naturally, some remodelling appears to have taken place after caves began to be used as places of worship, around the 5th century BCE. The cave appears to have been of more limited cultic importance than other sanctuaries in Attica.
