EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the majestic ruins of Temple C on the Acropolis of Selinunte in Sicily, Italy. Built in the mid-sixth century BC, this ancient Greek temple is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the Sicilian colony. With a perimeter of 42 columns, 12 of which still remain standing, Temple C is an impressive example of Doric order architecture. The intricate details of the architrave, adorned with meticulously carved capitals, display the exceptional craftsmanship of the ancient Greeks. The temple's columns, each with their distinctive bell-shaped bases, rise gracefully towards the sky, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. Selinunte, an archeological site of immense historical importance, was once a prosperous Greek city-state located in western Sicily. The site's strategic location on the Mediterranean Sea made it a desirable colony for Greek settlers seeking to establish trade relations with the Phoenicians and Etruscans. Temple C, a symbol of the Sicilian Greek civilization's architectural prowess, is believed to have been dedicated to the goddess Hera. The temple's ruins, now a popular tourist attraction, offer a glimpse into the ancient world and the artistic and cultural achievements of the Greek civilization during the Archaic age. The Spanish conquistador Ferdinand II of Aragon ordered the destruction of Selinunte in the late 15th century, leading to the temple's partial collapse. However, the ruins of Temple C continue to stand proudly, reminding us of the enduring legacy of the ancient Greeks and their remarkable architectural masterpieces.
