Today’s photo: the Temple of Apollo at Bassae.
It is a structure of great architectural importance - displaying the first use of Corinthian order in Greece (a single column), and utilising all three architectural orders in its construction. It is attributed to Iktinos (of Parthenon fame), and dated to the mid 5th BCE.
The view is taken from the north propylon (temple is orientated north/south).
