About Heraion of Samos
The Heraion of Samos was a sanctuary to the goddess Hera, developed by the Greeks from the eighth century BCE on a site of earlier Bronze Age cult activity. Its marble temple, rebuilt several times, was renowned in antiquity as one of the largest Greek temples ever built. The sanctuary drew pilgrims and offerings from across the Greek world.
