Plaka: Delphi: Temple

The columns on the left are part of the oft-photographed image you typically see from Delphi. In the right above the temple you can see down to the Marmaria or gymnasium for the atheletes.

I'm temped to call this the only handicapped accesible ramp in Greece, but that is snide.

This temple that we see is not the ancient one, but one rebuilt in the Hellenistic period. The columns have been re-erected as well by the archologists.

Somewhere down here is where "it" happened - the oracle sat and gave her prounouncements.

Or so tradition says. Again, we are not looking at the temple from the classical era but one built later.

Consult the oracle page for more.
