Temple of Juno, Ancient Greek temple in Valle dei Templi, Agrigento, Italy
The Temple of Juno stands on a natural platform featuring 34 Doric columns, with six at the front and rear, and thirteen along each side.
Construction began around 450 BCE during the prosperity period of ancient Akragas, followed by damage from Carthaginian forces in 406 BCE and subsequent Roman rebuilding.
The temple, initially thought to honor Juno, might have been dedicated to Athena according to recent archaeological findings of discovered statuettes within the structure.
The archaeological site measures 38 by 17 meters and contains a monumental altar on its eastern side, with visible remains of red rocks from ancient fires.
The temple's columns demonstrate precise mathematical proportions and engineering techniques that influenced temple architecture throughout the Mediterranean region for centuries.
