Greece - Ancient Corinth, Temple of Apollo

Greece - Ancient Corinth, Temple of Apollo
The Temple of Apollo in Ancient Corinth is one of the earliest Doric temples in Greece. It is the most important monument in the old city. The temple was built around 560 BC of local limestone on top of a low hill and dominates the archaeological site. The Temple of Apollo was a symbol for Corinth, reflecting its growth and prosperity.

The temple once had 42 monolithic, limestone columns (6×15), which were more than 7 meters high. Its central structure was divided into three rooms.

When the city of Corinth was refounded by the Romans the Temple of Apollo was renovated in order to house the cult of the Emperor. In the Byzantine era a basilica was built on the northeast part of the temple hill. In the Ottoman period, the eastern part of the temple was demolished and a new residence of the local Turkish Bey was built.

Today there are only seven standing columns and its foundations are preserved, yet the monument is the emblem of the Archaeological Site of Ancient Corinth.

A beautiful main image and supporting series, Jaap. I'm impressed that you managed these without tourists all through, I'd have expected a site like this would have been crowded.

This site is not so well known, so there were not that many tourists.
Sometimes waiting for them to disappear from the scene.
