The Temple of Apollo Epicurius, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Greece, is an ancient Greek temple renowned for its well-preserved architecture and historical significance. Built in the 5th century BCE, it is attributed to Iktinos, the architect of the Parthenon, and features a unique blend of Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian styles. Dedicated to Apollo, the god of healing, it served as a sanctuary for worship and medical relief. Its innovative design includes an early use of interior columns and a north-south orientation, unusual for Greek temples. Today, it stands as a testament to ancient engineering and cultural heritage, protected under a modern canopy.
