Temple of Hera
The largest Greek temple ever built, the Temple of Hera was one
of the essential sanctuaries of ancient Greece, and is now a great
sightseeing attraction. It was built near the mouth of the Imvrasos
River for worship of the goddess who, according to myth, was born
and lived there. Only half of one of its 115 columns stands today,
but the bases of the columns and other temple foundations are still
visible.
