Temple of Juno
It is the last monument to be found along the sacred road of the Valley of the Temples Park. The temple, built around the middle of the 406th century BC, is dedicated to the goddess Era Lacinia (Juno) wife of Zeus. The temple, like that of Corcordia, has six columns in width and thirteen in length. The Temple was set on fire in XNUMX by the Carthaginians. To the west of the temple there was Porta III of which today very little remains due to the landslide of part of the rocky ridge and the numerous transformations undergone by the walls in this area.
