Delphi is a Colonial city on Caprica featuring a large spaceport and military base.
It is situated in the same general region of the planet as Caprica City, as Lieutenant Karl Agathon is able to trek on foot from the outskirts of Caprica City to Delphi in roughly two months.
Delphi and the general region around it are apparently fairly close to a series of mountains, as the athletes in the Caprica Buccaneers Pyramid team survive the Cylon attack because they were in the mountains for high-altitude training at the time. The area would later form the core of the human resistance group that operates out of the Delphi Union High School (Resistance). The Cylon Farm that Thrace is held in, was set up in an old mental institution, about 20 kilometers north of Delphi (The Farm). Delphi itself is bordered by hills on at least one side (Colonial Day).
One of the tallest structures in the city is the Telamont Building, a towering skyscraper that pierces the skyline by several stories. When he reaches the city, Agathon recognizes it by this building (Colonial Day).
