Agora &
Hephaestus Temple
page 2
Hephaestus Temple
Setting
The 5th century BC Hephaestus Temple sits on a nearby hill within stone-throwing distance from the Ancient Agora.
Compared
with the Parthenon
It is similar in design to the Parthenon (both are Doric-style Greek temples), but noticeably smaller. However, it is in appreciably better condition than its more famous sibling, which makes the Hephaestus Temple one of the must-see attractions of Greece.
