Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae
This famous temple dedicated to the sun god and the god of healing was built in the middle of the 5th century BC in the remote heights of the Arcadian Mountains. The temple has the oldest Corinthian capitals ever found and blends the Archaic style with the serene Doric style, with some bold architectural features.
Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka
The Bhimobetka rock shelters are located in the foothills of the Vindhya mountain range on the southern edge of the central plateau of India. Amidst a huge sandstone outcrop, above relatively dense forest, there are five groups of natural rock shelters that display paintings that appear to date from the Mesolithic period to the historic period. The cultural traditions of the inhabitants of the 21 villages near the site are very similar to those depicted in the rock paintings.
