The temple of Dionysius of the first century had probably been abandoned in the third century when thesite was used as a place foor smelting bronze. The remains of the templewere removed to the level of its podium shortly before construction on the new building of Cathedral began and its architectural elements, such as columns, was reused as material for the masonry of the church.
