SUMMARY

The modern town of Plataea, in the southwest of Boeotia, developed near the ancient settlement; this preserved the ancient remains and later allowed the carrying out of excavations in this important archaeological site. Following the administrative reform Callicrates in 2010, the municipal unit of Thebes now includes the communities Kapareli (this was the seat of the former municipality), Leuctra, Melissochori (located close to the springs of River Asopus) Loutoufi.
