Labwe (ancient Libo) Temple

data access 27648

The podium of a prostylos temple partially converted into a fortress. At some point a house was also built within the temple, and since then there have also been illegal excavations (see the image on Google Earth, which shows at least six holes). See Taylor plates 28-291 and Aliquot2 for details.
