The tomb of the most famous doctor of the ancient times and father of Medicine is located in Larisa. It was found accidentally after the Pineios river flooded in 1826 and a statue was built by the sculptor Georgios Kalakalas in the honor of Hippocrates opposite the Alcazar Park. Since 2009, a museum near the tomb of Hippocrates houses copper sculptures of Asclepius, Health, Nikolaos Papanikolaou, Fleming and Dimitrios Paliouras, former president of the Educative Club of Larisa. Furthermore, there is a marble tablet with the Hippocrates’s oath and aphorisms written on it as well as tablets with other pieces of his work.
The visitor can also see a marble replica of the stone that covered Hippocrates’s tomb as well as exhibits that show how this famous doctor cured his patients.
Finally, there are photographs depicting medical tools of the ancient times, Agia Paraskevi (protector of the eyes) and all the significant points in the history of Medicine till the construction of the Museum.
