Delphi
Delphi is the ancient sacred precinct on the south‑western slope of Mount Parnassus in central Greece, famous in antiquity as the site of the oracle (the Pythia). The archaeological sanctuary is a delineated, walkable complex of terraces containing the Temple of Apollo, numerous city-state treasuries, a stoa, an ancient theatre, altars and other ritual and civic buildings.

Partial ruin
As it stood in AD 500
The shape it held in its prime.
Terraced stone foundations and platform walls step down a steep mountainside, punctuated by freestanding Doric columns and low masonry treasuries lining a paved processional way. The Temple of Apollo sits on a raised polygonal retaining terrace, its peripteral colonnade and cella footprint defined by cut ashlar blocks. Higher on the slope the semicircular stone theatre is carved into the hill; cypress and olive trees dot the slopes and a wide valley and mountain ridges form the distant backdrop.
