What you'll see
A giant marble doorway standing alone on a little islet joined to the harbour by a causeway, framing the sea; everyone gathers here for sunset.
A brief history
It's the entrance to a temple, probably to Apollo, begun in about 530 BC and never finished; the rest of the marble was carried off for building.
