From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phalaeseae or Phaliesiai (Ancient Greek: Φαλαισίαι) was a town of ancient Arcadia, in the district Maleatis on the road from Megalopolis to Sparta, 20 stadia from the Hermaeum towards Belbina.[1][2] William Martin Leake originally placed it near Gardhíki, but subsequently a little to the eastward of Bura, where Gell remarked some Hellenic remains among the ruins of the Buzéika Kalyvia.[3]

Modern scholars identify its site near the modern village of Bura.[4][5]
