Temple of Apollo
The temple of Apollo at Corinth is one of the earliest Doric temples in the Peloponnese and
the Greek mainland. Built around 560 B.C.E., of local oolithic limestone on top of an
imposing, rocky hill to the north of Acrocorinth, the Archaic temple was an emblem for the

surrounded by a pteron of 42 monolithic, limestone columns (6×15), over 7 m. high
