Doric Temple
Two doric columns represent the remains of this ancient Greek temple, dedicated to the god of the seas. It dates to the 6th century BC and was unfortunately victim of spoliation during the centuries. The columns stand at 8.47 m (28 ft) above the ground, in front of the city hall, and they can be admired from behind a gate.
