Temple of Apollo Patroos, Ancient Greek temple ruins in Ancient Agora, Greece
The Temple of Apollo Patroos features Ionic architecture with dimensions of 10 meters wide and 16 meters long in the Ancient Agora of Athens.
The temple was constructed between 340 and 320 BCE, replacing an earlier structure that was destroyed during the Persian invasion of 480 BCE.
The temple honors Apollo as the father of Ion, marking the connection between the deity and the founding of the Ionian Greek people.
Visitors can examine the temple foundations and view fragments of the original marble statue by Euphranor in the Agora Museum.
The temple contained a bronze grill in its doorway that allowed people to view the interior while preventing physical entry to the sacred space.
