Panoramic View of Lecheon Load in archeological place of Temple of Apollo
The Archaic Temple of Apollo is a Doric peripteral temple, constructed around 540 BCE, originally consiting of 6 by 15 monolithic columns quarried from the limestone ridge near the location of the temple. Today only 7 of its original 38 Doric columns are still standing.They are about 4 Meters tall and 2 Meters in diameter. The stylobate measures 54 by 21 meters. The temple which stands on the hill above the Roman forum at Corinth is one of the Greek buildings which the Roman colonists restored for their use. It had been built to replace an even earlier temple on the same spot. Pausanias described seeing it.
At west side of site, remains of the large peripteral Temple of Octavia. The temple was built on a podium surrounded by stoas. These three ornate Corinthian columns, overarched by a restored architrave, are all that remain of the temple, dedicated to the sister of the Emperor Augustus.
