Temple of Zeus Cellar

View looking east inside of the huge subterranean cellar that runs under the whole temple that measures 121 x 108 ft. [37 x 33 m.].

Some have suggested that the female mother deity, Cybele, was worshiped here. Others suggest that this arched cellar was used for storage. In any case, it is well–preserved!
