Municipal Unit of Thebes

The Boeotian plain defines the setting of Thebes — broad cultivated lowlands have long connected this inland city with the routes of central Greece. Ancient Thebes was one of Greece’s major city-states and reached its greatest political influence in the fourth century BCE, when Theban forces defeated Sparta at nearby Leuctra. The Cadmea, the city’s ancient acropolis, remains the core of historic Thebes, while the Archaeological Museum of Thebes traces the area’s past through collections from prehistoric and classical periods. Today, Thebes is a working regional centre where everyday life unfolds beside a remarkable ancient legacy. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Boeotia and central Greece.
