The archaeological site of Kerameikos was the city's main cemetery in ancient times.
It has been in use for more than 1200 years.
Due to the presence of clay - there was a small river here - and the good sales opportunities at the nearby cemetery, an important pottery center emerged in the Kerameikos district.
