Classic 5th Century BCE temple dedicated to the ancient metalurgy god, Hephaestos. It is the Greek temple in the best conditions still remaining. In the middle Ages the temple was called Theseion, after the hero Theseus, as the original purpose had been forgotten. The temple did serve as a christian church after the abolition of paganism.
The temple is located within the Roman agora just below the Acropolis.
