Acropolis of Rhodes

This guide to the Acropolis of Rhodes opens with a question about the four standing columns of the Temple of Pythian Apollo: how much of what you're looking at is actually ancient. It traces the temple's real fourth-century BCE origins and its two ancient rebuildings, then turns to Italian architect Mario Paolini's 1930s reconstruction under the fascist occupation, when concrete cores were dressed in matching stone to stage a ready-made ancient glory. Take a moment at the columns to look for where old carved stone meets Paolini's concrete.
