Temple of Hera, Mon Repos, Ancient Greek temple ruins in Mon Repos, Corfu, Greece.

The Temple of Hera, or Heraion, is an archaic temple built around 610 BC on the top of Analipsis Hill within the Mon Repos estate. Its roof carried large painted terracotta figures of lions, gorgoneions and Daidala maidens, with lion-head water spouts. The sanctuary was enclosed by a peribolos wall, and architectural fragments are now kept at the Archaeological Museum of Corfu.

The temple was built around 610 BC during the early period of Greek civilization. A fire destroyed it in the 5th century BC, but it was rebuilt before the site was eventually abandoned.

The roof ornaments displayed lions and gorgon heads reflecting how people understood their gods and the world around them. These carved details tell us what mattered to the community that built and used this place.

The temple remains lie at the western edge of Mon Repos, about 700 m southeast of the Temple of Artemis and close to Kardaki Temple. A modern road cut through the western and southern flanks, and dense vegetation affects the northwest area. The architectural fragments are kept at the Archaeological Museum of Corfu.

The Digital Archaic Heraion Project uses discovered architectural fragments to create three-dimensional virtual models of the temple. This digital reconstruction helps visitors understand what the complete building once looked like, even though only pieces of the physical structure remain.
