The Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, located in Delphi, Greece, served as a welcoming site for pilgrims on their way to the ancient Oracle. This cluster of ruined temples and subsidiary buildings now houses the most-photographed spot: the circular tholos temple. With only three columns and a fragment of frieze still standing, the tholos stands out against the rugged mountain backdrop, creating a striking visual. Visitors today can explore these ruins and appreciate the historical and architectural significance of this once-thriving sanctuary.
