Lavrio (Ancient Laurion) - UNESCO World Heritage Centre Silver from Lavrio contributed to the strong foundations of the Athenian state because it made possible the minting of the famous silver coin, the Laurion 'owl'. The renaissance of modem Lavrio began in 1860, with the re-smelting of the ancient spoil-heaps, the reopening of the mining galleries and the development of new metallurgical work. Indeed, Lavrio is the only example in Greece and the wider region of the Mediterranean of a company town created in a deserted region to meet the needs of industry. whc.unesco.org /pg_friendly_print.cfm?cid=326&id=1789&   (528 words)
