The Tomb of Leonidas - Sparta, Greece

Also known as the Leonidaion or Leonidaeon, this 5th century structure is the supposed tomb of King Leonidas. It is located in the center of modern Sparti. There is no evidence linking this structure to Leonidas and no one knows for certain where his remains are located. The massive stone blocks are still impressive and must have been an important and beautiful building. The structure's layout suggests that it was a temple, perhaps dedicated to Apollo.
