The [[Tholos (architecture)|tholos]] at the sanctuary of [[Athena]] [[Pronaea]] (Ἀθηνᾶ Προναία, "Athena of forethought") is a circular building that was constructed between 380 and 360&nbsp;BC. It consisted of 20 [[Doric order|Doric]] columns arranged with an exterior diameter of 14.76&nbsp;meters, with 10 [[Corinthian order|Corinthian]] columns in the interior.

The Tholos is located approximately a half a mile (800 m) from the main ruins at Delphi (at {{Coord|38.48016|N|22.50789|E|type:landmark_region:GR|format=dms}}). Three of the Doric columns have been restored, making it the most popular site at Delphi for tourists to take photographs.

The architect of the "vaulted temple at Delphi" is named by [[Vitruvius]], in ''[[De architectura]]'' Book VII, as Theodorus Phoceus (not [[Theodorus of Samos]], whom Vitruvius names separately).<ref>{{cite web |first1=Marcus |last1=Vitruvius Pollio |title= de Architectura, Book VII|url=https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/e/roman/texts/vitruvius/7*.html|publisher=University of Chicago |website=Bill Thayer's Web Site |access-date=14 June 2017}}</ref>
