The Tholos of Delphi is a circular ancient Greek temple designed by Theodoros of Phocaea, located within the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, less than a mile east of the main Delphi ruins in Phocis, Greece. Built as a monopteros—a temple without an inner chamber—the structure exemplifies the refined architectural style of classical antiquity. It shares its sanctuary site with other foundations dedicated to Athena Pronaia and forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Delphi, standing as a significant archaeological testament to ancient Greek religious architecture.
