Abstract :Temple of Zeus Olbios in the ancient town of Olba is one of the remarkable antique monuments of Cilicia, owing its reputation both to its historical value, for being one of the earliest temples in Corinthian order, and its good state of preservation. It is a peristyle Corinthian temple with 6 columns on short sides and 13 on the long sides (fig. 2). Today not much can be seen of the spatial layout of the temple since it went through a conversion process in late antiquity during which all the walls of the building was torn down to form a large basilical churchKeywords :
