At the peak of the acropolis (289 meters high) facing the deep blue sea, a temple of Doric order was built in 530 BC which was dedicated to Athena, the goddess of the Fortress. The Doric columns are resting on the stylobate without column bases and one of these columns is still carrying its capital . Above the capitals there used to be an architrave with a frieze. This type of architrave with a frieze is seen only in Assos.
