San Leone Mosè, Italy
Temple of Hera, Agrigento
The so-called Temple of "Hera", otherwise known as Temple D, is a Greek temple in the Valle dei Templi, a section of the ancient city of Agrigentum in Sicily. Its attribution to Hera derives from a misinterpretation of a passage by the Roman writer Pliny the Elder, which actually refers to the temple of Hera on the Lacinio promontory near Crotone, Calabria. It was built about the year 450 BC and in period and in style belongs to the Archaic Doric period.
