Temple to Demeter
About 1.5km south of Sangri is the impressive Temple to Demeter. The ruins and reconstructions are not large, but they are historically fascinating, and the hilltop location is impressive. There is a site museum with some fine reconstructions of temple features. Signs point the way from Sangri.

Byzantine Church of Christ the Saviour
The main cobbled path at Sparta's ruins leads north to the acropolis (some of which is fenced off), passing the Byzantine Church of Christ the Saviour on the way to the hill-top Sanctuary of Athena Halkioitou. Some of the most important finds in the town's archaeological museum were unearthed here. Alternatively, you can see and approach the theatre from here. There are impressive views of the snowcapped Taÿgetos Mountains.
