    Archaeological site - here was once a Doric temple from the Greek period. Two pillars still bear witness to the former construction.

    The two columns are part of an ancient temple complex from the 6th century BC

    The Mediterranean region is known for its world of gods, which dates back to ancient, pre-Christian times. At least the corresponding names from Greek and Roman mythology have survived to this day. The few columns that can still be seen here belong to a temple that is said to have been dedicated to the sea god POSEIDON - interestingly from Greek and not, as one would assume, Roman mythology.
