Temple of Hera I 550 BCThis Archaic temple is built out of sandstone in the doric order. As a temple dedicated to the goddess Hera, sacrifices were made and votive gifts were left for her. This architectural structure signifies the importance of women as it is an entire temple for a female goddess. The Greeks took her seriously, and held her in such high esteem, that they consciously created this long standing temple in her honor.
