From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Megarian Treasury at Olympia, was an ancient Greek building, located in the sanctuary of Olympia, which held votive offerings of the Greek city-state of Megara.[1]
Architecture
The Megarian Treasury was mainly built from limestone, with the roof made of terracotta tiles. The building was adorned with several statues, including limestone reliefs and carvings in cedarwood.[2] Due to its architectural styling, both the statues and the building itself are believed by archaeologists to originate from the 500s BCE.[3]
