Chrysa (Gulpinar) - Temple of Apollo Smintheus (32 pictures, 1 videos)

The temple of Apollo Smintheus is situated in the south-west corner of Biga Peninsula. It is within the boundaries of the city of Canakkale and in the municipality of Gulpinar which was called "Kulahli" until 1920's. The temple is located in the garden plot of the town which is nourished by spring waters. This could be the reason why the temple was erected in this site in ancient times where plenty of water existed. The people of Alexandria Troas had come to consult the oracle of Apollo and the god needed water for prophecy.
