Photos of Ruins of Temple of Hera, Samos Island

The Temple of Hera on Samos Island was four times the size of the Parthenon in Athens. Now there are only scattered ruins and one of the of many columns that is impressive, especially when you consider it was originally twice its current size. It was built in the 6th century BC. It was contstructed over an ealier Mycenaren temple. I found it very peaceful and reminded my in some ways of the cemeteries in my neighborhood in New Orleans with all of their above ground graves often over grown with plants and flowers.
