    Only nine of the original sixteen lions survived. They served as guardians of the sanctuary.

      The Terrace of the Lions on Delos is an impressive architectural structure dedicated to the god Apollo by the inhabitants of Naxos around 600 BC.

        Impressive lions sit on their hind legs, their tails tucked between their legs, the front of their bodies exposed. Thus, they frame the avenue, inspiring fear of God while simultaneously serving as guardians to visitors and protectors of the sanctuary.

        Only nine of the original sixteen lions have survived the test of time, some intact; others have broken apart. One of them was brought to Venice in the 17th century and now has a new, incomparably beautiful head. It is located in front of the Serenissima shipyard.
