Temple of Dioscuri, Ancient Greek temple in Valle dei Templi, Italy.
The Temple of Dioscuri features four standing Doric columns with six columns on both sides and thirteen along its longer sides in the archaeological site.
The temple, constructed between 480 and 460 BCE, represents the devotion to Castor and Pollux, twin brothers associated with horsemanship and warfare.
The temple integrated Greek architectural principles with local Sicilian construction methods, reflecting the Mediterranean cultural exchanges of the period.
The archaeological site provides guided tours in multiple languages, with informational panels explaining the temple's architectural and historical elements.
The temple's columns maintain their original dimensions, enabling researchers to study authentic Greek construction techniques from the fifth century BCE.
