The
first Temple of Apollo was built in the Archaic
period and the Hellenistic temple which
succeeded this was built on the foundations of
the earlier building, materials from which were
used in the construction. The temple we see
today is an Ionic structure measuring 60 x 118
m, with a dipteral arrangement of two rows of
columns with 21 on each side and 10 at each end.
Didyma was connected to Miletus by the Sacred
Way, the latter part of which was lined with
sarcophagi and statues of lions and sphinxes.
