Temple of Sangri, Ancient Greek temple in Sangri commune, Greece.
The Temple of Sangri stands on Naxos island with a nearly square ground plan measuring 13.29 meters long and 12.73 meters wide.
Built around 530 BCE during the Late Archaic period, this Ionic temple underwent transformation into a Christian basilica during the 6th century CE.
The temple served as a sanctuary dedicated to Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and fertility, as evidenced by archaeological discoveries at the site.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours from 8:30 to 15:30 daily except Tuesdays, with free admission to explore the outdoor premises.
The structure features five unfluted columns in Samian style that narrow at the top, supporting what experts consider the oldest marble roof in ancient architecture.
