Phigaleia is an ancient Greek city in the south-west corner of
Arcadia. It is also the present name of a
nearby modern village, known up to the early 20th century as
Pavlitsa (Παύλιτσα). In modern geography it is located in southeastern
Elis. It is situated on an elevated rocky site, among some of the highest mountains in the
Peloponnese, the most conspicuous being Mt Cotylium and Mt Elasum; the identification of the latter is uncertain.
