Metaponto_Basilicata_Italy-047.tif
Metapontion. Basilicata. Italy. View along a pathway lined with colourful plants of the majestic Greek Doric Temple of Hera. Known as the Tavole Palatine, the elegant peripteral temple was built around the mid-6th century BC as a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Hera, 3 kilometres from the ancient Greek urban centre of Metapontum on the Ionic coast of Basilicata in southern Italy. It has 15 Doric fluted columns still upright from its original 32 (6 x 12) and is one of the best preserved monuments of Magna Graecia (Greater Greece).
