Priene - Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore

Near the church of Priene is a path which runs up to the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore. Of the two statues which once stood outside the entrance one can now be seen in a Berlin Museum. The sanctuary itself, a temple in antis of unusual form and fitted with wooden roof-trusses, is badly damaged. To the left of the temple is a sacrificial pit.
