In Greek mythology, the god Apollo (also: Apollon) was connected with the famous oracle of Delphi, among other things. According to tradition, the last oracle of Phytia (this was the title of the seer / fortune teller) in the second half of the fourth century - i.e. when Christianity was spreading more and more - is said to have read:

“Tell the king that the well-made house has fallen.

Phoibos Apollo has no more refuge,

the holy laurel withered,

its sources are forever silent,

the murmuring of the water has stopped.”

Just after the bridge at the beginning of the Ortigia. The market also starts here.

Only the foundation and some columns remain. Still a great photo opportunity.
