There are three major Greek temples, among them, on the highest point of the town (some way from the other temples), in the Sanctuary of Athena, is the temple of Athena. It was built in about 500 BCE. The Sanctuary of Hera contains two temples, popularly misnamed the "Basilica" and the "Temple of Neptune". The second Temple of Hera probably dates from ca. 460 BCE.
