Neméa Archeological Site - Doric temple
|
|
The main feature of the Neméa site is a Doric temple, originally with 6 x 12 very slender columns, three of which still stand, forming a prominent landmark. The temple was built in the fourth century B.C. on the site of an earlier Archaic temple (of which the crypt survives). Outside the east end can be seen the tufa substructure of an altar. To the south of the temple were a long guest-house or hostel (20m/66ft by 86m/282ft), over which a three-aisled Christian basilica was built in the fifth century, a palaistra and baths of the Hellenistic period, near the remains of which is a museum.
