The Temple of Apollo - a photo on Flickriver

            The Temple of Apollo, a Grade I Listed Building, at Stourhead Gardens in Wiltshire.

Formerly known as The Sun Temple. Built in 1765 by Henry Flitcroft for Henry Hoare, the design taken from a temple in Wood's Ruins of Baalbec, published 1757. Flitcroft was probably influenced by William Chambers' Temple of the Sun at Kew, 1761, a close copy of the Baalbec temple. (K. Woodbridge, The Stourhead Landscape, 1982) Built of Limestone ashlar. Circular, plinth with 8 steps on side overlooking lake, twelve Corinthian columns carry a scalloped entablature, each bay contains a semi-circular niche and oculus, formerly with lead statues which were moved to Stourhead House (q.v.) in 1903-04.
