Description

Macaw of Hieron II

Altar probably dedicated to Zeus Eleuterio erected in the third century BC by Gerone (Ierone) II. What remains today are almost exclusively the base structures (198 x 22,80 m.), Obtained in the lower part of the rocky slope of Colle Temenite. In fact, the upper block structure was almost completely removed in the XNUMXth century in order to use the already squared blocks for the construction of the Spanish fortifications of the city.
