The temple of Hera was built at the location that the Godess Hera was supposed to have been born on the Greek island of Samos.
The temple of Hera is the largest Greek temple ever built. At it?s height, the temple was bigger than the Parthenon, but now only very little of it remains.
A single column of this colossal octastyle dipteral Ionic temple still stands, in the northeast corner.
The surviving statues from the Temple have been removed and placed in the museum of Samos City (Vathy). This includes the giant 5 meter high Kouros, wich in turn is the largest surviving Greek statue.
