Lot of columns and two wonderful marble ramps to visit oracle area.nnYou can enjoy lot of details on the columns and get the idea how it would have been to walk around at the original temple.

Lovely place to visit with numerous restaurants around the outside. Nice in the evening to watch the sunset.

Take my daughter here every year. Lovely place as is the surrounding area, plenty of cafes nearby. Wish there was more information available. When we went last time possible sewage was leaking in, but cant be sure. Still well worth a visit
