The Temple of Poseidon stands at the highest point of Cape Sounion, the southern tip of Attica, about 70 km south-east of Athens. The Doric marble temple was built around 444\u2013440 BC on the ruins of an earlier temple destroyed by the Persians, and 15 of its original 34 columns still stand. Sailors used it as a landmark for centuries and called the cape Kavokolones, the Cape of Columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to myth, King Aegeus of Athens threw himself into the sea from these cliffs when he saw his son Theseus\u2019s ship returning from Crete with a black sail, and the Aegean was named after him. Homer mentions Sounion as a sacred place in the Odyssey. A name carved into the base of one column is attributed to Lord Byron, who visited Sounion in 1810\u201311. In antiquity the cape also guarded the sea route to Piraeus and the silver mines of Lavrio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La puesta de sol es el momento m\u00e1s popular, y en verano el yacimiento se llena una hora o m\u00e1s antes, as\u00ed que llega pronto para rodear el templo con la luz suave. En lo alto hay poca sombra, y en la bah\u00eda bajo el cabo hay playas y tabernas de pescado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
