Ancient Temple in Calabria

Substantial remains of 2 ancient 5th and 6th century BCE Greek Doric Temples.

The first is at the height of the Belvedere (or Telegrafo), but only its foundations measuring 37.45 metres by x 20.5 metres survive.

The second temple, measuring 27.5 metres by 18.1 metres was found at the Cofino heights (at 38.6766, 16.116).

Roman colonists appear to have quarried the temples.
