Temple of Apollo

The Temple of Apollo (Turkish: Apollon Tapınağı) is a Roman temple built around 150 A.D. during the Pax Romana era in the ancient Pamphylian town of Side, in southern Turkey on the Mediterranean Sea coast and dedicated to Apollo, the Greek and Roman god of music, harmony and light, inter alia.

The Temple of Apollo dates back to the time of Roman emperor Antoninus Pius (r. 138–161).

Between 1984 and 1990, the five columns, which remained standing side by side over centuries, and the capitals were restored. As the concrete base carrying the columns started to wear down, and the iron bars inside the columns came to the surface effected by weather conditions, restoration works were carried out in 2017. The broken parts of the columns were repaired with same material used during the restoration in the 1980s.

The Temple of Apollo is a notable tourist attraction in Antalya Province.
