SAMOS HERAION OF SAMOS > The South Building

The southernmost temple of the sanctuary is peripteral, orientated to the NE. The cella and pronaos were divided into two aisles by a central colonnade and had the same lenght to width ratio as the Temple of Rhoikos: 1:3 (39.90 X 13.10). It is worth noting that the peristasis does not extend towards the east side of the temple, so that the facade is formed by the antae between very widely spaced columns. Fluted limestone columns are attributed to this temple, which was probably built in the middle of the 6th century B.C., but no matching capitals have been recognized so far.
