Temple of Aphaea
This is the temple of Aphaea (a local deity of fertility and agriculture at Egina) at the top of a mountain/huge hill. It was long forgotten in the ancient times as the local population was slaughtered and/or deported by the Athenians and not rediscovered until (semi) modern times.
The temple, dating to 500-490 BC to replace and older structure that burned down.
