Temple of Apollo
About Temple of Apollo
First constructed in 7BC and then rebuilt in 365 BC after an earthquake. Nearby the temple approximately 50 metres away is the Fountain of Apollo, whose waters were thought to have curative properties. It is possible to see the seats and treatment rooms used by patients during the curing process.
The Great Baths are another feature at the Temple of Apollo which are still in exceptional condition. It is still possible to see the pipes that fed into the baths.

Cyrene is a wonderful site, and often gets overlooked by Leptis Magna, and it is just as, if not more impressive, being the Greek city that was settled in 7 BC.
The Temple of Apollo, is in a complex of a a few temples plus a bank (you had to pay to go!) plus there is the Fountain of Apollo, in which local boys were swimming in when i was there!
It hasnt been overun by tourists, so is still in great condition. Which does make me hesitate to reccommend it because it is so well preserved!
