Temple C (behind), built 550 BC, on the acropolis of the ancient ruined Greek city of Selinunte, Sicily, Italy. The temple had a peristyle of 6 x 17 Doric columns, 14 of which were re-erected in 1925-27 along with a section of the entablature. It was dedicated to Apollo and is thought to have been used as an archive. In the foreground are the ruins of Temple D, built 540 BC, which was dedicated to Athena and had a peristyle of 6 x 13 Doric columns. Selinunte was founded in 628 BC and was an important Greek colony, home to up to 100,000 people at its peak and abandoned in 250 BC. The city consists of an acropolis housing 2 main streets and 5 temples, 3 other hills with housing and temples and 2 necropoleis. Picture by Manuel Cohen
