The monument of Ptolemy II and Arsinoe II

In the eastern side of the enclosure, just in front of the Stoa of Echo lay the ruins of a monument, dating from the Hellenistic Era. This was a structure that has been built by the Admiral Kallikrates in honor of the prince of Egypt, Ptolemy II Philadelphus and his sister and second wife Arsinoe II. Two columns of Ionic order (10 m. high) were placed inside the monument, on top of which stood the golden statues of the couple.
