Temple of Apollo at Metropolis

temple · 750 BC – 30 BC

A peripteral Doric temple built in the mid-6th century BCE was destroyed by fire in the 2nd century BCE. The temple faces east, and was built of mudbrick on foundations of local sandstone, with sandstone column drums and a terracotta roof. A 4th-century BCE dedicatory inscription found in the cella attests the worship of Apollo. The structure was discovered in 1994 following the activity of looters.
