Adyton

Most sacred inner room of an Ancient Greek or Roman temple

In Classical architecture, the adyton or adytum (Latin) was a restricted area within the cella of a Greek or Roman temple. The adyton was frequently a small area at the farthest end of the cella from the entrance; at Delphi it measured just 9 by 12 feet. The adyton often would house the cult image of the deity.
