Best Answer

Some were built on the high place in a city where they also served as a refuge and treasury under protection of the god eg Athena's Parthenon at Athens. Others were located in remote places such as in the mountains for Apollo at Delphi or the temple of Poseidon at Cape Sunion. They were all built on a rock base for stability.
