Temple of Apollo Patroos

The Temple of Apollo Patroos is a small ruined temple on the west side of the Ancient Agora of Athens [1]. The original temple was an apsidal structure, built in the mid-sixth century BC and destroyed in 480/79 BC [1]. The area probably remained sacred to Apollo [1]. A new hexastyle ionic temple was built ca. 306-300 BC, which has an unusual L-shaped floor plan [1]. Some fragments from the sculptural decoration of this structure survive [1]. The colossal cult statue, by Euphranor, has also been recovered [1].
