Athenian Treasury in Delphi, Greece
Delphi Sights & Monuments - Built around 470 BC to commemorate the Battle of Marathon victory of the Athenians, the Treasury of Athens stands in Delphi. It was an offer to Apollo. It was reconstructed between 1903 and 1906. The style of the metope relief sculpture [featuring Theseus and Herakles] is transitional and combines the freshness of archaic art with the severity of early classical.
