The original lion sculptures from the Terrace of the Lions are protected from the elements in the Delos Archaeological Museum. Exact replicas stand in their place on the archaeological site.
The statues of the lions were dedicated to the sanctuary of Apollo at the end of the 7th c. or early in the 6th c. BCE. They stood as guardians of the Sacred Lake and the sanctuary. The original number of lions ranges between nine and nineteen.
