Kardaki Temple, Ancient Doric temple in Corfu, Greece

The temple measures 11.91 by 25.5 meters and contains eleven single-stone pillars on its wider sides and six on the narrow sections.

Built around 500 BC in ancient Korkyra, British engineers discovered the temple in 1822 while investigating a water spring blockage.

The temple holds connections to both Apollo and Poseidon worship, reflecting the religious practices of the ancient Greek civilization in Corfu.

The temple stands within the Mon Repos estate in Palaiopoli, located 700 meters southeast from the Temple of Artemis.

This structure represents the only Greek temple of Doric architecture constructed without a frieze, displaying wider than normal column spacing.
