At the little village of Tegéa, 8km/5mi southeast of Trípoli, is a sanctuary of Athena Alea.
Tegéa, until 560 B.C. a center of resistance to Sparta, was described by Pausanias in the A.D. second century as a flourishing city, but in A.D. 395 was destroyed by Alaric. Later the Crusaders built the town of Nikli nearby.
