Temple of Apollo in Delphi
Temple of Apollo in Delphi, Ancient Greek temple in Delphi, Greece.
The Temple of Apollo features Doric columns arranged in a six by fifteen pattern, with an inner chamber that contained the sacred oracle space.
The fourth century BCE temple replaced earlier structures destroyed by earthquakes and fires, serving as a major religious center until Roman times.
People from across the Mediterranean region traveled to consult the Pythia priestess, who delivered prophecies from a chamber beneath the temple floor.
The archaeological site includes preserved foundations, several standing columns, and detailed inscriptions that visitors can examine during regular opening hours.
Geological studies reveal natural fissures under the temple that released ethylene gas, which may have influenced the oracle's prophetic statements.
