- The Monastery of Daphni - Established in the late sixth century A.D., the Daphni Monastery was built on the site of the Sanctuary of Apollo, which was desecrated by the Goths in 395. The Sanctuary of Apollo featured Ionic-style architecture with slender and small columns, each resting on a base with an ornamental scroll at the top. Some columns from the temple have been preserved, including one of the four Ionic columns, which was incorporated into the Daphni Monastery.
