  • Miletus. Turkey.  The ruins of the Delphinion or Sanctuary to Apollo Delphinius which was first erected in the Archaic period (800 -500 BC). The Temple was built without a roof as were most Temples of Apollo and consisted of a large area surrounded by walls with a sacrificial altar in the centre. It was the remodelled and enhanced during the Hellenistic period and again in the Roman period. The little remains visible today belong mainly to the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The altar foundations are still clearly evident in the centre. The sanctuary’s name is derived from Delphinius, the Greek word for Dolphin.  The Dolphin was sacred to the cult of Apollo and protector of sailors and ships and was considered very important to Miletus due to its four harbours which have now silted over. The ancient Greek city of Miletus is located in western Anatolia on the Aegean coast of Turkey.
