The Temple of Athena Poliados and Zeus Polias: It is located at the northernmost end of the hill of Acropolis. It was oriented from east to west. It was a Doric style. The nine oversized vertebrae, part of the capitals and the epistyle, which are now in the ground, indicate its monumental character. Here the Rhodians kept the texts of treaties with other states. The temple was part of a larger mosque bounded on the east by an arcade.
