Badly damaged foundations of the peristyle of a large Doric temple of the 6th or early 5th c. BCE, the center of which is now occupied by the modern chapel of Profitis Ilias on a rise NE of ancient Kyreneia. This temple was probably destroyed during the earthquake of 373 BCE and replaced by a smaller temple to the west, built from its rubble. A monumental great altar has also been excavated immediately east of the temple.
