Corinth

Corinth was one of the great city states of ancient Greece Unfortunately is it mostly rubble today, this was one of the main areas in the ancient city In the background is the large hill with fortress known as Acrocorinth

A closeup view of Acrocorinth. The fortress at the top of the hill was inhabited by the various great empires through the ages including Byzantines, Crusaders and Ottomans

Corinth was completely destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC and then refounded by Julius Caesar

The buildings to the right were shops in ancient times

A testament to Caesar. Some caesar anyway

The last remaining great structure, the Temple of Apollo Today only 7 of the original 38 columns are still standing Don't ask us why a temple at Corinth has Doric columns !
