Temple of Aphrodite at Acrocorinth, ancient Greek temple in Corinth Municipality, Greece
The Temple of Aphrodite at Acrocorinth was an ancient shrine dedicated to the goddess of love, located on the hilltop fortress overlooking the city. Today only foundations and scattered stone remains mark where the sanctuary once stood among the ruins of this strategic settlement.
The sanctuary was built in antiquity to serve Corinth's devotion to the goddess and remained active through various periods of the city's history. The temple fell into ruin as the site changed hands and religious practices shifted over centuries.
The location sits on a hilltop, so wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for a climb to reach the site. The area is exposed in places, so plan for exploration time and bring protection from sun and wind.
