Un esempio di recupero e ricostruzione fedele. Il sito archeologico di Delfi è straordinario. Consiglio acqua e cappello.

Ο Θησαυρός των Αθηναίων είναι κτήριο στους Δελφούς, σε μορφή μικρού ναού. Ήταν αφιερωμένος από τους Αθηναίους χάριν της νίκης τους κατά των Περσών και στέγαζε τα αναθήματα των Αθηναίων στο θεό Απόλλωνα. Βρίσκεται στην πρώτη στροφή της Ιεράς Οδού, που οδηγούσε στον ναό του Απόλλωνα και προς το μαντείο των Δελφών. Ήταν κτισμένος από μάρμαρο της Πάρου σε αρχαϊκό ρυθμό και χρονολογείται μεταξύ 510 και 480 π.Χ. Το κτίσμα αναστηλώθηκε την περίοδο 1903-1906, από τον Γάλλο αρχιτέκτονα J. Replat. Τα έξοδα κάλυψε ο Δήμος Αθηναίων. Αργότερα, διαπιστώθηκε κίνδυνος κατάρρευσης του θριγκού της πρόσοψης, λόγω της οξείδωσης των σιδηροδοκών που είχαν χρησιμοποιηθεί από τους αναστηλωτές για την στερέωση του επιστυλίου, κάτι που οδήγησε σε νέες εργασίες αποκατάστασης του θριγκού και του αετώματος της ανατολικής όψης του θησαυρού, την δεκαετία του 2000.

Most opulent cash stash By the Athenians out of “treasuries” out there. A truly famous historical location with breathtaking views.

Can be found along the Sacred Way leading up to the Temple of Apollo within the Delphi Archeological Site. It is used to house offerings for Apollo. Some restoration seems to have been made, but the original structure still looked pretty intact. There’s a small platform in front of the Treasury for viewing the mountains opposite the Delphi site as well.

The Athenian Treasury is standing. Nice to see more or less how it looked like before. I believe it’s been restored due to the presence of lighter color blocks

De Atheense treasury is door de Atheners gebouwd als offer aan Apollo. De tempel is 510 BC gebouwd en ligt langs de heilige weg die van beneden naar de tempel van Apollo voert. De tempel is van Parisch marmer en de metopen tonen de slag bij Marathon. De tempel is deel gerestaureerd, maar bijna volledig in originele conditie. In het museum zijn veel delen van de tempel te zien.
