Description
View of remaining standing Doric columns and part of entablature at Temple C in Selinunte, Sicily, with ruins from Temple A in foreground. Gordon Bugbee Collection. "Hexastyle peripteral temple with seventeen columns on the sides. The cella building comprised an adyton, a long and narrow cella, and a pronaos ... Erected in the 6th century B.C. and probably dedicated to Apollo, the temple is thought to have fallen during an earthquake in the 5th century A.D., burying a Byzantine settlement, although the city had been sacked in 409 B.C. by the Carthaginians. Fourteen columns of the north colonnade were re-erected beginning in 1925, and the earthquake of 1968 disrupted this reconstruction. Since then, scaffolding has covered it,"--Perseus Digital Library.
