Tholos of Delphi, Circular temple in Delphi, Greece
The Tholos features twenty Doric columns arranged in a circle, with internal Corinthian columns and marble decorations on its octagonal roof.
Built in 380-370 BCE by architect Theodoros of Phokaia, the temple formed part of the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia at Delphi.
The metopes of the Tholos displayed relief sculptures depicting battles between Amazons and Centaurs from Greek mythology.
The monument stands near the entrance of the Delphi archaeological site, accessible through a marked path leading to the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia.
The building combined Pentelic marble in its upper structure with limestone in its base, featuring ten interior half-columns attached to curved walls.
