The Temple of Apollo at Delphi was the centerpiece of a Panhellenic sanctuary dedicated to Apollo, god of prophecy, music, and healing [1]. Built in the 4th century BCE, it housed the legendary Pythia (Oracle of Delphi), who delivered prophecies consulted by kings and rulers from the 8th century BCE onward [1]. The temple was destroyed under Emperor Theodosius I in 390 CE [1].
