Ancient Temple in Greek Islands (Sikinos). The Greek temple of Apollo from 3rd century BCE was re-used as a mausoleum by the Roman in the 3rd century CE. Later its ruins were included into a Christian church which was rebuilt after the earthquake in 17th century CE.
Elements of the ancient temple are still visible in the walls of the church.
