Temple of Apollo Pythios

This guide to the Temple of Apollo Pythios in Rhodes starts with concrete mixers churning through the night in 1937, on a project by the Italian School of Archaeology that would fool visitors about these standing columns for decades. You'll hear about architect Mario Paolini's choices, the ancient temple's earlier life and its rebuildings after earthquake and fire, and what happened to the reconstruction once wartime shelling reached this hilltop. It follows what culture ministry crews are doing to the columns today.
