GreeceThe Megarian Treasury at Olympia, was an ancient Greek building, located in the sanctuary of Olympia, which held votive offerings of the Greek city-state of Megara [1]. The Megarian Treasury was mainly built from limestone, with the roof made of terracotta tiles [1]. The building was adorned with several statues, including limestone reliefs and carvings in cedarwood [1]. Due to its architectural styling, both the statues and the building itself are believed by archaeologists to originate from the 500s BCE [1].
