Guide to the Dorian City of Lato, Crete, Greece

The Temple House

The stone built remains of three or more rooms lie to the West of the Great Temple. Built of rough and primarily unhewn stones, little remains except the lowest levels of the individual walls. The purpose of this building, although not known for sure, probably had significance in relation to the rituals, ceremonies and preparations associated with the Great Temple dedicated to Eilythia immediately to its East.
