Temple of Heliod Boedromios

To the north, between the Library and the agora, a large tholos serves as a temple to the sun god. The temple has been built around a primordial image of the god. As the village grew because of the Library, a first temple was created which was later covered by a new line of columns, a total of five concentric circles each of a more modern style from the original interior to the recent temple now seen from the outside. Access to the image is restricted and guarded by two priests. Heliod receives multiple requests for help through his image here, and the faithful take their turn praying around the circles formed by the temples for days on end.
