Valley of the Temples
Temple of Hera - Panton's Perfect Pictures
They call this the valley of the temples simply to trade off the name "Valley of the Kings"they really don't have to do this the site has some four temples a necropolis and other ancient ruins.
The main ones are:-
Temple of Hera
Temple of Concord
Temple of Hercules
Temple of Zeus
Temple of Castor & Pollux
All build tin the 5th Century BC
This temple was built out of sandstone, other mainly limestone. Sandstone is so soft the Greek painted the stone with a limstone wash to create a lay of harder material to protect the building.
