A restoration and repair work has been launched to strengthen the three columns with a length of 20 meters in the Temple of Apollo, located in Turkey's Aegean province of Aydın's Didim district.

The excavation and restoration work around the historical marvel, which is shown as one of the best-preserved temples in Anatolia, was suspended for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Excavation works in the Temple of Apollo in the western province of Ayd?n's Didim district have unearthed the foundations of a giant structure, thought to have connections with the temple. 

The works have been carried out by the German Halle Martin Luther University, the German Archaeology Institute and the Milet Museum Directorate.
