EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the ancient ruins of one of the colonnades of the Greek Temple dedicated to Hera, also known as the Temple of the Palatine Tables. Located in Metaponto, a region in Basilicata, Italy, this remarkable piece of Greek architecture stands as a testament to an extraordinary era. The image captures the essence of this historical site with its grand columns reaching towards the sky. The intricate details on each column and architrave showcase exquisite craftsmanship that has stood against time for centuries. The building elements are beautifully preserved, allowing us to marvel at their beauty and complexity. Surrounded by a serene meadow landscape, this temple offers a glimpse into an ancient civilization that once thrived here. Its foundation holds stories untold from over two thousand years ago when it was first constructed during the 6th century BC. As we gaze upon this photograph taken in 1914 by Alinari Fratelli, we can't help but feel connected to history itself. It reminds us of Greece's rich cultural heritage and its significant contributions to art and architecture throughout Europe. This artwork serves as an invitation for thematic searches into archaeology and Greek art enthusiasts alike who seek knowledge about our past civilizations. It beckons those embarking on "the grand tour" through Europe's historic sites to include Metaponto on their itinerary. Alinari Fratelli's skillful capture allows us not only to appreciate these ruins but also encourages contemplation about humanity's enduring legacy through architectural wonders like these temples dedicated to gods long forgotten yet immortalized forever through stone structures such as these.
