Temple of Apollo
The Temple of Apollo in Delphi was first built around the 7th century BC and was rebuilt a few times due to fire and earthquake. The temple survived until AD 390, when the Roman emperor Theodosius I destroyed the temple and most of the statues and works of art in the name of Christianity. The temple housed the Oracle of Delphi who would provide answers or prophecies to those who visited on the seventh day of each month. The Oracle would breathe in the fumes emanating from a fissure in the earth and fall into a trance like state. This temple held significant importance in the ancient world and is a must see for anyone interested in Greek history.
