The Temple of Apollo in Corinth, Greece, is an impressive ancient structure that dates back to the 6th century BCE. It is one of the earliest examples of Doric architecture in the Greek mainland. The temple originally featured 38 monolithic columns, each standing over 7 meters tall, though only seven remain standing today. Positioned on a hill overlooking the ancient city of Corinth, the temple was dedicated to Apollo, the Greek god of music, prophecy, and healing. Its robust and austere design reflects the early Doric style, characterized by simple, geometric lines and a lack of elaborate decoration.
