The Serpent Column of Delphi was built to commemorate the Battle of Plataai in 479 BC. Built. The original shape of the three snakes, which grew almost 8 meters high while encircling each other, is interpreted in different ways. The snake pillar was supposed to protect the city from snakes and vermin with its magical powers.
After the city was conquered by the Ottomans in 1453, the column is said to have been converted into a three-mouthed fountain, the heads of which were gradually damaged and chopped off.
