The Sanctuary of Enodius Hermes has been located at Fonemeni, on Mount Zygos, half an hour west of Agios Petros. Three large piles of stones ("hermaks") mentioned by Pausanias are visible and are considered to have corresponded to the boundaries of the ancient territories of Sparta, Argos and Tegea.
These three stone piles, whose creation is dated between the 6th - 4th c. BC, they marked the boundaries of the three territories, Sparta, Argos and Tegea. The sanctuaries of the three states in honor of Hermes in the Fonemeni are a unique archaeological site, of enormous importance.
The stone mounds, the cult of Enodius Hermes and the part of the carriage road network that passed through it complete an extraordinary ensemble, which is a monument to the history and cultural heritage of the region, an eternal sign of the border that separated three territories and the roads that united.
