Greece - Tholos of Delphi

The Tholos of Delphi is one of the ancient structures of the complex of the Temple of Athena Pronaia (locally known as the Marmariá, the marble quarry). The circular temple - tholos means dome - shares an immediate site with other ancient foundations of the Temple of Athena Pronaia, all located a couple of hundred meters east of the main ruins at Delphi.

The tholos is considered being one of the most characteristic monuments at Delphi and the most important building of this small sanctuary. Twenty Doric columns - three have been reconstructed - supported a frieze with triglyphs and metopes. The building is dating back to 380 BC. The tholos was partially restored in 1938. Several architectural members and the surviving sculptures were restored and are now on display in the Delphi Archaeological Museum.

The tholos is part of the Delphi UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Beautifully captured Jaap..................even in this partially restored condition, it's easy to see how breathtakingly beautiful the whole complex must have been when it was built..!!

I like the images in the PiPs (which are also excellent) showing these columns in the greater context. As always, a fascinating narrative..!!

Gorgeous. Your pictures create such a fine presentation, Jaap.

The ruins at Delphi were one of the coolest places I'd ever seen on my trip many, many years ago. Totally mind-blowing for me. I wasn't a photographer though so now I would love to return and enjoy my skills at this amazing spot. Boy did you do a nice job. And the info is always appreciated too! :)
