The temple was built in the 2nd
century AD, and sixteen of its original seventeen columns are
still standing, complete with their architraves. It is believed
that the temple was never completed, as evidenced by three columns
on the south and southwest sides which have no fluting, but an
archaeological survey in 1969 found an inscription from
Hellenistic times which proved that the present temple was built
on the site of an even earlier one. The city of Euromos stood a
short walk from the temple, to the north. There you will find the
remains of a round tower, dating from 300 BC, which was once part
of the city wall and from which it is possible to trace the wall
which it is possible to trace the wall which once enclosed a very
large area. On the hillside above the plain are the remains of a
badly deteriorated west-facing theatre, best preserved in its
northern corner. |
