Temple C, Ancient Greek temple in Selinunte, Italy.
Temple C stands on the eastern hill of Selinunte's acropolis, featuring fourteen columns that were reconstructed during the 1920s restoration project.
Constructed around 550 BC, Temple C served as both a religious sanctuary and an archive, containing numerous seals and documents from ancient Selinunte.
Archaeological findings within Temple C suggest a dedication to Apollo, evidenced by discovered artifacts including polychrome terracotta fragments and sculpted metopes.
The temple remains accessible through marked pathways within the archaeological site, with electric vehicle rentals available for transportation between different areas.
The architectural design of Temple C differs from standard Greek templates with its notably squat columns and structural variations not found in later temple construction.
