Heraion at the Mouth of the Sele

The Heraion sanctuary stands near the Sele River estuary, containing temple foundations and remaining structures from an ancient religious complex.

The temple complex, constructed in the sixth century BC, served as a center for worship and religious ceremonies dedicated to the goddess Hera.

Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered metope relief panels depicting mythological scenes and terracotta statues reflecting ancient Greek religious practices.

The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours and connects to nearby accommodations through local transportation routes from Capaccio Paestum.

The temple's structural design incorporates architectural elements that demonstrate the transition between Greek and Roman construction methods during different periods.
