Delos. Greece. The grand row of five marble lion sculptures crafted and dedicated by the Naxians to the Sanctuary of Apollo in the 7th century BC. Situated on a natural terrace standing guard and overlooking the sacred lake, it is believed that there may have been between nine and nineteen lions. These are copies of the remaining five which are in the Delos museum. The small sacred island of Delos is the birthplace of the Greek God Apollo and his twin sister the Greek Goddess Artemis. Delos is one of most important ancient sites in the Mediterranean and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
