Temple of Aphrodite, Ancient Cassope

The Temple of Aphrodite at ancient Cassope (Kassope) in Epirus, Greece, is a peripteral hexastyle temple measuring 17.20 x 10.15 metres, located outside the city walls. Aphrodite was the patron goddess of Cassope, identified through votive finds recovered during excavations, and the sanctuary may predate the formal founding of the city in the mid-4th century BC. Cassope itself is one of the best-preserved examples of a Hippodamian grid-plan city in Greece, with visible remains including cyclopean walls, an agora, a theatre, and private houses.
