A solitary standing column indicates the spot of the once famous Temple of Apollo Sarpendonios: some other remains are also visible. It was a peripteros (rows of columns surrounding the central, walled in and holiest, part) of 8 x 14 Corynthian pillars from the second century A.D.

Several other remains are lying about, some of them with well-chiselled ornaments.
