Temple of Hera in the archeaological site of Selinunte, ancient greek city in Sicily, Italy

Ancient greek temple in Selinunte (Sicily).

Selinunte is an ancient Greek city in southwest Sicily. This site is considered the largest archaeological park in Europe. The temples there are designated by letters due to the difficulty of definitively defining the deity they honored. Temple G was dedicated to Apollo. It was originally the largest in Selinunte. It was probably never a finished temple, but if it had been, it would have been one of the largest in the world at the time. The light of an October afternoon and the absence of any people make it particularly striking here.

Its name is conventional as a result of a wrong interpretation of a Latin inscription that aligns it with the temple of Hera, in Crotone. It housed the cult of the goddess of fertility. The The temple was destroyed in 406 B.C. by the Carthaginians.
