Tempio di Hera Selinunte Selinunte era una antica città greca situata sulla costa sud-occidentale della Sicilia; oggi costituisce il parco archeologico più grande d'Europa, ha infatti, un'estensione di circa 270 ettari. Comprende: La collina Gàggera (a ovest, con il santuario della Malophòros) L'acropoli (al centro, con templi e fortificazioni) La collina Manuzza (a nord, con l'abitato antico) La collina orientale (ad est, con altri templi) Le necropoli. Sulla collina orientale: il tempio E detto “tempio di Hera”. Risale al 460-450 a.C. Presenta un peristilio (lunghezza m 67,82; larghezza m 25,33) di 6 x 15 colonne (altezza m 10,19) con numerose tracce superstiti dell'originario stucco che le ricopriva. È un tempio caratterizzato da diverse scalinate che determinano un sistema di rialzamenti successivi: una prima di 10 gradini conduceva all'ingresso sul lato E; dopo il pronao in antis un'altra di 6 gradini conduceva nella cella; e per finire un'ultima di 6 gradini dava accesso – in fondo alla cella – all'adyton, Dietro l'adyton, separato da esso, vi era l'opistodomo in antis. Un fregio dorico alla sommità delle pareti della cella era costituito da metope figurate, i cui personaggi avevano il corpo in arenaria locale mentre la testa e le parti nude dei corpi femminili erano in marmo pario. Si sono conservate quattro metope intere raffiguranti (in stile severo): Eracle che uccide l'amazzone Antiope; le nozze di Zeus con Hera; Atteone che viene dilaniato dai cani di Artemide; Atena che uccide il gigante Encèlado; inoltre una quinta lacunosa: Apollo e Dafne (?); tutte conservate al Museo Archeologico di Palermo. Purtroppo il giorno dello scatto, il cielo non mi ha aiutato, risultando parecchio anonimo. -------Tutte le foto contenute in queste gallerie sono copyright Sergio Bartolomeo e non possono essere utilizzate in alcuna forma senza il consenso dell'autore.

Congratulations Sergio,
Beautiful image, with a beautiful pdr and a very good composition.
Beautiful colors of the lawn in the foreground, if only the sky had been a little less "anonymous" would have really a shot... "Super"!
A very dear greeting,
