In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth (Greek λαβύρινθος labyrinthos,) was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur eventually killed by the hero Theseus.
Even though it looks like a maze a Labyrinth's purpose is to free the mind of everyday stresses and focus your mind one simply whats in front of you. Usually in Rome, Italy I was amazed to find one in Rome, Georgia. Ironic as all get out I know. Not far from me I will sneak away and wander around the path freeing my mind of everyday life. The ladies that work in the visitors center are cool as well. With tips on places to eat and other stops around town.
"The Labyrinth of Rome was created as an adaptive reuse of what originally was an amphitheater built by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. Upon finding the nearest Labyrinth to be 50 miles away, the late Ed Baker worked with local government to establish this corner of Rome’s historic Jackson Hill. It contains 5,490 bricks (laid end-to-end, over a kilometer) weighing a total of 24,705 pounds."
