The Temple of Ilissos (Artemis Agrotera) - 3D reconstruction
Outside the walls of Athens, next to the river Ilisos, stood a small ionic temple which is thought to have been dedicated to the goddess Artemis in the form of Artemis Agrotera (protector of the hunt). The temple was probably built in around 440 .
At some point during the medieval times, the temple was converted into a christian church dedicated to the Mother of God, known as “Panagia stin Petra” (Mary on the rock).
The temple still stood in a relatively good state (along with christian alterations) until 1778, when the Turkish governor of Athens dismantled the temple and many other monuments in order to use the material on a new city wall he built. The marble parts of the temple were turned into lime.
Today almost nothing remains of the temple and the excavated field is on dispute between the owners and the Ministry of Culture.
