The whispered secrets inside a 6th-century BC Greek temple in south Italy

The Tavole Palatine are the remains of a hexastyle peripteral Greek temple of Magna Graecia, dedicated to the goddess Hera and the god Apollo. The temple, located near the Bradano river in south Italy, was part of a countryside sanctuary. Remnants of the wall of the temenos and of a very ancient altar are visible.

Though it was initially attributed to the cult of Athena, a fragment of a vase found in the course of the 1926 archaeological excavations revealed the temple was dedicated to Hera. Until the nineteenth century, the Tavole Palatine were also known locally as the Mensole Palatine or Colonne Palatine. They were also called the Scuola di Pitagora.
