Delphi in Greece is the city that contained the major Temple dedicated to Apollo god of light, medicine and music. Besides the Temple of Apollo the famous Delfic oracle was within the Temple's territory providing consultation to visitors for over 1000 years until it was closed in 395 AD. Delphi is also considered the center of earth and the universe since omphalos [meaning navel] was placed in the area by Zeus when two eagles flying in the opposit direction east/ west met over Delphi.
