Temple Of Demeter Naxos - Ancient Greece
The Temple of Demeter was built in the 6th century BC. The temple was partially dismantled in the 6th century AD when a church was built over it. In later centuries the site was abandoned and plundered for its marble.

Just outside the village of Sangri on Naxos Island in the Cyclades is the attractive ruin of the Temple of Demeter. Demeter is a grain goddess, so it seems only natural to find her temple among the rich fields of Naxos.

Intimate little archaeological site where one can see the first known temple to use some of the optical refinements later used in the Parthenon. Free. Very windy and dry, bring sun protection if you plan to spend much time. Consult a guide or history book as well as there is limited interpretive signage on site.
