This prison is a cave and doesn't look that exciting at first. Nevertheless, the meaning behind the prison is important. It seems that the famous philosopher Socrates was imprisoned here. Socrates had innovative ideas that clashed with the ideas of the ancient Greeks. He went to jail for this. During his trial he probably stayed in the prison on Philopappos Hill. After his prison stay he was found guilty and was poisoned.
