Selinunte: Temple C, north colonnade  (Photo: Athena Review 2004)


Temple C  is a hexastyle building, with six columns at front and back, and 17 columns on the sides.This view shows two columns from the reconstructed north colonnade, along with two notched lintel fragments.

A total of 14 doric columns have been re-erected along the north side of Temple C. The columns, with simple Doric capitals, are  monolithic (i.e., not built up from sections or  drums) and nearly 2 m in diameter at the base, except for the thicker corner columns.
