Paestum. Campania. Italy. View of the north side of the Temple of Hera II. Dating from 474 and 450 BC, the Temple is complete (apart from its missing roof) and ranks as one of the best preserved temples of Europe. The Temple has 36 fluted Doric limestone columns (6 by 14 and 9 metres high columns) and at 60 metres long by 24 metres wide made it the largest temple at Paestum. It is considered the finest example of a pure Doric Temple found anywhere.
