Kings of Argos monument in Delphi
Kings of Argos monument
The Kings of Argos monument is located on the Sacred Way leading to the Sanctuary of Apollo in Delphi, Greece. The city-state of Argos, which had many kings before it became a democracy, built this monument to house the statues of its kings.
As you can see from the image, the monument is a semi-circular structure consisting of niches to hold bronze statues. Although the plan was to house twenty statues, the city-state of Argos was able to erect only ten statues.
