Once there were giants

Shoot - Second Temple of Hera 480=460BC

 

Foundation in 600BC by Dorian Greek colonists under the name of Poseidonia. Temple are of the Doric order, that originating in the western Doric region of Greece, there the earliest style of columns of ancient Greece. The beauty it's off the beaten path so you actually enjoy the sights without the droves of tourists. I always find myself driving here when ever in the area, just stunning to.see not one but three Temples.

 

Famous southern Italian quote, that my uncle always said when taking me here when young; Siamo tutto figli di Troia (We are all children of Troy)
