The Archaeological Museum of Poros is located at the Korizi square. It was created thanks to a pioneer devotee of archaeology, who carried out by himself the hard work of preserving the ancient findings of Trizinia, Christos Fourniades. Fourniades started to collect, by his own initiative, the scattered ancient findings of the area and gather them at the Municipal Office of Poros. In 1958 Fourniades, supported by the Municipal Council of Poros, had already proceeded with the foundation of an Archaeological Collection on the island.
It used to be the center of the Kalaureian amphictyony that functioned as a voluntary co-operative for dealing with religious as well as civic issues for city-states including Epidauros, Prassies, Hermione, Aigina, Athens, and Orhomenos. It is believed to date back to the year 520 BC.
