Tavole Palatine

late 6th century BCE · 6th century BCE · Also known as Temple of Hera at Metapontum

The Tavole Palatine are the remains of a Doric temple of Hera built in the late 6th century BCE outside the Greek colony of Metapontum, near modern Metaponto in Basilicata, southern Italy. Fifteen columns still stand, ten on one side and five on the other, with parts of their architrave. They are the best-preserved monument of Metapontum and among the most visible traces of the Greek cities of southern Italy.
