It is the Panhellenic sanctuary of Apollo, erected in a beautiful natural setting in Delphi, Greece. It is the main building where Pythia sat to realize her predictions. According to legend, this prophetess, installed on a tripod covered with python skin, transmitted the words of her God. In the past, the Temple of Apollo was crossed in a sacred way with many marble statues, which can still be taken today. During the visit to the place, you will discover the treasure of the Athenians. This peripteral temple of the Doric order includes trophies of Athenian triumphs, sculptures, and statues as offerings to Apollo by Athens. You can find objects that belong to the vows dedicated to the pantheon. But the temple also housed a theater, a gymnasium, and a stadium that are essential to the conduct of Panhellenic events (cultural and sporting competitions with song and poetry). ◄
