You're standing in the Sanctuary of the Great Gods on the island of Samothrace. At first the site can feel a bit confusing. There's a reason for that. It sits on three narrow terraces on the slope of Mount Hagios Georgios, split by two steep streams, and people kept building here for about two centuries.
