Poseidon's Temple :Greece


Poseidon's Temple Posted by Hello

Poseidon's Temple is found at Cape Sounion, just outside Athens.

It is located almost at the center of the island and myth has it that Poseidon exchanged his Temple at Delphi with the one that Apollon had at Kalavria in Poros. The Temple of Poseidon is of the Dorian order and it has six columns on its short side and 12 columns on its long side.

If my memory serves me right, there are three important temples, Poseidon, Acropolis and one more which forms an iscosceles triangle.
