This temple was built on an artificial spur. Standing on a high rectangular platform above four steps its 34 fluted columns consist of four tamburi or drums and are each 6.32 meters high. After being damaged in the fire of 406 BC it was restored in Roman times, and again in 1787 by the Prince of Torremuzza. The Valley of the Temples is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
