About Temple of Apollo
Italy
The Temple of Apollo, located on the island of Ortygia, is one of the oldest Doric temples in the ancient Greek world. Constructed around the 6th century BCE, the temple dedicated to the god Apollo was an important religious site in the city of Syracuse, which was a major Greek colony in antiquity. The temple was originally built in the Doric style, featuring the characteristic strong and simple columns. Over the centuries, it underwent several modifications, including its conversion into a Christian church and later a mosque during different periods of occupation. Today, the temple remains a significant archaeological site, with remnants of its columns still visible, offering a glimpse into Syracuse’s rich history.
