The Tholos of Delphi is a circular building located in the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia at Delphi, Greece. Constructed around 380 BC, it is renowned for its architectural elegance and intricate design. The structure consists of a circular base with 20 Doric columns on the exterior and 10 Corinthian columns on the interior. The purpose of the Tholos remains a subject of debate among historians, with suggestions ranging from a place of worship to a commemorative monument or a meeting place.
