Site plan of the Acropolis of St. George, as it is presented by the archaeologist D. Lazaridis, in his study for Maronia and Orthagoria. The Acropolis of St. George, is built on a steep location at an altitude of 461 meters in such a way so it could prevent any possible attacks from the east.. Its polygonal masonry is leading us to the conclusion that this work is really old. Surely, due to its excellent location, the Acropolis of St. George was also used even after the wall of the ancient city was built on 4th century BC. East and south of the Acropolis of St. George, large parts of the long walls are saved, which obviously belonged to the same fortification works with the Acropolis as well as the western part, while the rest parts of the walls had gone through several amendments and additions in different time periods.
