Summary: "The construction of the New Hospital, an important undertaking for modern Chalkis, was the motivation for extensive and prolonged excavation, which ultimately brought to light a public work dated at the Classical and Hellenistic times, the fortification of ancient Chalkis. The find was conserved and remains fully accessible in the courtyard of the hospital, reclaiming eventually its proper place amongst the visited monuments of the town. This brief guide will help you get acquainted with these and also with the place that for thousands of years enchanted conquerors, voyagers, travellers and a myriad of different visitors ... Chalkis, Euripus, Negroponted, Egriboz, a city 'where Euripus rolls about its whirlpools' (Euripides, Iphigenia in Tauris)." -- Publisher's description.
