At first the site can appear a jumble. But you start up the way and take in things one at a time.

Along the first stretch of the sacred way is the Treasury of the Siphnians, a rich building from a small island.

At the corner the sacred way turns and there is the Treasury of the Athenians (ca. 590 BCE, reconstructed 1903-06). It housed the offerings of Athens.

A little farther up is the Stoa of Athens with an older polygonal wall behind it.

Around the next bend we come to the Temple of Apollo. This was the temple where the oracles held forth. The columns were reconstructed in modern times.
