Temple of Apollo Epicurius

It sits at an elevation of 1,130 m at Bassae near Figa- leia, in Messinia, but also quite near the border with Ilia and Arcadia. It was constructed around 420- 400 BC, it is said that it was designed by Ictinus, one of the architects of the Parthenon, and it is one of the most important temples of the ancient world. The metopes coming from the wonderful frieze, today displayed at the British Museum in London, were depicting scenes from battles with the Amazons and the Centaurs.
