Temple of the Delians, Ancient Greek temple in Delos, Greece.
The Temple of the Delians exhibits white marble columns on all four sides, measuring 30 by 13 meters with six columns on short sides and thirteen along lengths.
Construction of this temple started in 476 BC, funded by the Delian League, but paused in 454 BC when the treasury moved to Athens, resuming after 314 BC.
The temple contained numerous precious offerings and a statue of Apollo holding three Charites, crafted by sculptors Angelion and Tektaos during its active period.
Modern visitors reach the temple ruins through organized boat tours departing from Mykonos, with guided excursions available throughout the archaeological site.
The unfinished fluting on the temple columns provides evidence of ancient Greek construction techniques, as work ceased before completion of these architectural elements.
