Temple of Apollo, Melite

The Temple of Apollo (Maltese: Tempju t'Apollo) was a Roman temple in the city of Melite, in modern Mdina, Malta [1]. It was dedicated to Apollo, the god of the sun and music [1]. Parts of the temple's crepidoma still exist, having been rediscovered in 2002 [1]. The temple was built out of marble, and it had a tetrastyle portico with Ionic columns, raised on a podium [1]. It overlooked a semi-circular theatre [1]. More ruins of the temple and the nearby theatre were discovered near St. Peter's Monastery in Mdina in 1747 [1]. These remains included marble pillars, capitals, cornices and blocks, as well as an inscription recording the temple's construction [1].
