Apollo Temple in Corinth

The Temple of Apollo in Corinth dates back to 550 BC. One of the oldest Greek buildings. It is named after Apollo, the patron saint of the city. Initially, the temple had 42 Doric columns. Only seven have survived. The first mention of it is found in the works of the Greek Pausanias. During the excavations found a tablet with an inscription-dedication. The foundation of the temple is a rock, the columns are made of porous limestone, narrow upwards. The temple plan was restored. There was a portico on each side. The central hall was divided into two parts by a partition. Unfortunately. It was destroyed along with Corinth in 146 BC by Lucius Mummius, people were killed or taken into slavery, and works of art were transported to Rome. You can get to Corinth from the mainland by plane or ferry. Then a taxi, a paid excursion transfer, a car for rent.
