|  | Sacred Road (1)
Dans la partie basse du sanctuaire, un chemin permet d'accéder à la terrasse du temple : de part et d'autre de ce chemin étroit (la "Voie sacrée") se trouvent plusieurs monuments hétéroclites conçus pour abriter des offrandes au dieu, pour lui exprimer des remerciements ou pour commémorer un événement heureux.

|  | Stoa of the Athenians
478 B.C.
The stoa leads off north-east from the main sanctuary. It was built in the Ionic order and consists of seven fluted columns, unusually carved from single pieces of stone (most columns were constructed from a series of discs joined together).
|
|  | Treasury of the Athenians
485 B.C.
Le trésor des Athéniens à Delphes a fait l'objet d'une recherche du meilleur emplacement : il se trouve dans un virage de la montée vers le temple d'Apollon. On le voit donc de l'entrée du sanctuaire mais aussi du temple. Il commémore la victoire de Marathon.
|
|  | Treasury of the Beotians
From the entrance of the site, continuing up the slope almost to the temple itself, are a large number of votive statues, and numerous treasuries.
|
|  | Stadium (1)
Vth century B.C.
The stadium is located further up the hill, beyond the via sacra and the amphitheatre. It was originally built in the 5th century BCE but was altered in later centuries.
|
|  | Theatre
IVth century B.C.
The ancient amphitheatre at Delphi was built further up the hill from the Temple of Apollo giving spectators a view of the entire sanctuary and the valley below. It was originally built in the 4th century BCE but was remodelled on several occasions since. Its 35 rows can seat 5,000 spectators.
|
|  | Gymnasium
IVth century B.C.
The palaestra at Delphi is part of a gymnasium at the sanctuary. It is the oldest existing gymnasium from the Greek world, dating to second half of the fourth century B.C.
|
|  | Tholos
between 380 and 360 B.C.
The Tholos at the sanctuary of Athena Pronaia is a circular building that was constructed between 380 and 360 B.C. It consisted of 20 Doric columns arranged with an exterior diameter of 14.76 meters, with 10 Corinthian columns in the interior.
|
|  | Others monuments (4)
Le site du sanctuaire de Delphes comprend nombre d'autres monuments, certains étant plus imposants que le temple d'Apollon : la plupart d'entre eux avaient un caractère votif ou commémoratif.
