Lakinion Temple of Hera

Ancient Temple in Basilicata

The ancient Greek colony of Kroton was founded by Achaian Greeks in 710 BCE. The sanctuary of Hera was set up just south of the town though only one column of the ancient Greek temple survives at the prominent cape, named after the column. The temple is believed to date to about 470 BCE. The temple largely survived until the 16th Century, when the colonnades were quarried.
