THE THOLOS IN DELPHI



Eighty kilometers from Athens, you will find Delphi, the center of worship of the god Apollo. The oracle of Delphi was a spiritual experience whereby the spirit of Apollo was asked for advice on critical matters relating to people's lives or affairs of the state. This is what remains of the Tholos temple, the most recognized structure in the site because of the color of the marble and the fact that it's a round temple, a rarity in Greek architecture.

Location: Delphi, Greece
