Isthmia, Archaeological site with Temple of Poseidon in Corinthia, Greece.
The Temple of Poseidon stands near the Corinth Canal, featuring classical Greek architectural elements and structural remains from different historical periods.
The sanctuary of Isthmia became a center for athletic competitions in 582 BCE, hosting the Isthmian Games that ranked second in importance after the Olympic Games.
The archaeological museum displays artifacts from excavations, including pottery, sculptures, and inscriptions that reveal details about ancient Greek religious practices.
The site opens daily from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, offering guided tours that explain the temple complex, Roman baths, and ancient stadium locations.
Excavations since 1952 by Michigan State University have uncovered two separate stadium structures used for different periods of the Isthmian Games.
