Hydraulis of Dion

At the beginning of the 1980s, the area was drained east of the main road of ancient Dion.

In this area, east of the main road, excavations were carried out in the summer of 1992 under the direction of Dimitrios Pandermalis.

On the morning of August 19, 1992, archaeologists found pieces of small copper tubes.

After recognizing the meaning of the find, the earth was widely removed and sent for further processing to the workshops.

The body of the organ was decorated with silver stripes and multicolored, rectangular glass ornaments.

Valves were opened by keyboard and the air flowing through the organ pipe generated the sound.
