About Temple of Apollo
The Temple of Apollo of Ancient Corinth, built in the mid-sixth century BC, whose seven surviving monolithic Doric columns stand on a ridge below the great rock of Acrocorinth.
The temple had 38 Doric columns, six at each end and fifteen along each side; seven still stand, each cut from a single block. It replaced an older temple of the seventh century BC. Its dedication to Apollo comes from the writer Pausanias and a small plaque found nearby.
It is part of the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth, with one ticket for the site and the museum. Hours are shorter from November. The columns are fenced and seen from the path.
