Apollon Temple

The temples of Apollo and Athena are located in the ancient city of Side, Antalya, Turkey. It was built in the second century of the ancient Roman era. The temple was close to the sea. Most of the buildings collapsed. There were only scattered fragments of broken columns. There were several pillars standing on the seaside. The white Roman columns were set off by the blue sea in the background. It resembles a temple on the Greek sea.

The seaside town of Sidai Side is not far from Antalya, the largest city in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Although it is said that commercialization is getting worse, we feel okay and there is no discomfort. Back in the Bronze Age, also homer epic era, Turkey was the sphere of influence of the ancient Greek Mycenae civilization, and was part of the later Roman Empire. So there are many ancient Greek and ancient Roman relics here. The site of the shrine in Sidai is very similar to the Greek feeling. There is a museum for tickets, and the others are open-air visits.

Located on the seaside of the Western Dynasty, more than 100 kilometers away from Antalya, Apollo Temple has only a few pillars, beside which a large number of different shapes are estimated to be the stones that built the temple. The Temple of Athena is right next to it, all by the sea.

The temples of Apollo and Athena are located in the southwest corner of Port Sidai. Although they are all broken stones, they are one of the most significant sites. They are the sites of the temples of Apollo and Athena in the 2nd century A.D. Many of the pillars of the Apollo temple have been preserved and stand in their original positions. It's good to visit them here.

This is Apollo s Temple, one of the most famous sights of the side temple. At first, my friends didn't understand why I had to go to the side, but when they saw such a huge temple site on the coast of the Mediterranean, they understood that the huge pillars that had survived several earthquakes and wars were not in the midst of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Are the strong symbols of human beings growing up and moving forward? But the vast ocean behind is beating human beings no matter how strong and capable you are in front of the great power of nature, which is fragile and unbearable. Look at the tall and majestic palace where human beings were once proud, there are only these broken stone pillars left at this moment.
