Temple C, Selinus

Temple C at Selinus (modern Selinunte) in Sicily is a Doric Greek temple built in the first half of the 6th century BC on the acropolis, almost certainly dedicated to Apollo. It features a hexastyle peristyle with six columns at the front and seventeen on the flanks, giving it an elongated archaic plan. Excavations uncovered a 2.5-metre clay gorgon head from the pediment and three celebrated metopes depicting Perseus slaying the Gorgon, Heracles with the Cercopes, and Apollo's quadriga, all now in the Museo Archeologico di Palermo.
