The town of Elis was an important urban centre in the ancient Greece. It was the capital of the Elean kingdom in the western Greece.

The archaeological research indicates the first signs of human presence in the area, very early at the prehistoric era.

The archaeological research indicates the first signs of human presence in the area, very early at the prehistoric era. According to Pausanias the first historical leader of the area was Oxylos from Aetolia. He was the first king and the person who established the Olympic Games. The museum of Ancient Elis is located in the southeast edge of the ancient city. The creation of the museum was started in 2002 and was finished in 2004. The architecture of the central building is totally harmonized with the natural landscape.
