The Temple of Apollo Corcyrean is an archaeological site of the remains of an open-air sanctuary located on the slope of the hill of the larger Temple of Hera at the estate of Mon Repos.
The Temple of Apollo Corcyrean dates to the 6th century BC and is thought to have functioned until the end of the 5th century BC. The sanctuary was located near the enclosure of the Temple of Hera and was probably buried when the Heraion was renovated and expanded.
The sanctuary consists of a small trapezoidal enclosure of which only the lower parts still survive and a square altar. Archaeological excavations have unearthed several objects around the temple, including iron and copper arrows, spearheads, bronze votives, laurel leaves, figurines, and masks, as well as several pieces of jewelry. One of the findings, a small bronze knife, bears the dedicatory inscription Apollonos Korkyraiou (Apollo Corcyrean), which confirms the sanctuary’s dedication. The knife and other findings are displayed in the Museum of Paleopolis housed in the Mon Repos Mansion.
More archaeological findings of ancient Paleopolis can be found in the Archaeological Museum of Corfu. At a short walk to the south, you can also visit the remains of the Temple of Kardaki, and the Temple of Artemis is located about 700 meters to the northwest.
