Especially the temple that we are gonna talk about today is said to exist since the 4th BC century. The temple of Athena Lindos, is an oblong tetrastyle amphiprostyle church. Initially at the position of the church there was only one altar, and later built a simple nave. And then in the 6th century they built the temple of Kleovoulos which destroyed by fire in the 4th BC. According to archaeologists, it was gold and ivory statue of the goddess, like the Parthenon in Athens, not preserved today.
