Aegina - Temple of Aphaia


Aegina - Temple of Aphaia, originally uploaded by Ava Babili.

The imposing temple was built in ca. 500 B.C. An earlier building existed on the same position, built in the 6th century B.C. but it was burnt down in around 510 B.C. It was Doric, peripteral, with 6 x 12 columns, made of poros stone. Its destroyed architectural members were buried during the construction of the artificial terrace on which the new temple was erected. The new temple is also Doric, peripteral, with 6 x 12 columns.

We had lunch there on Saturday and the grapes were hanging over our heads!
And boy, were they HUGE!

Most of the soil in this area is very red. I think that the orange looks great against the green foliage.

I played a bit in Photoshop with the contrast/saturation so that you could clearly see the top of the mountains.
