Megarian Treasury, Delphi

The Megarian Treasury was a votive building in the Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi, situated north of the Siphnian Treasury along the Sacred Way. Originally built as a Doric distyle in antis at the end of the 6th century BC, it was later replaced by a trapezoid structure with a dark limestone facade. The facade bears 42 inscriptions, 26 referring to citizens of Megara, which confirmed the monument's identification. The foundations and inscribed wall were restored in 1975-1976.
