The Temple of Apollo is the oldest Doric temple in Sicily.
Doric refers to the so-called Doric "architectural order" the other canonical orders being Ionic and Corinthian. Fluted columns are quintessential to the Doric style.
The original structure consisted of 6 columns on the short side and 17 on the long side. It is located in Ortygia in Syracuse.
Apollo is associated with music, truth, prophecy, knowledge and healing. His abode is Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece. Wild boar live in the foothills of Mount Olympus.
