Known for its Roman history, Italy is home to some of the most impressive Greek temples outside of Greece. They provide a unique window into the ancient Greek world that once flourished on Italian soil and are primarily found in southern regions such as Campania, Basilicata, and Sicily.

The region of the "bel paese" known as "Magna Graecia," or Greater Greece, was a thriving hub of Hellenic trade, culture, and religious activities between the eighth and third centuries BCE. These temples now serve as silent reminders of a past period, attracting tourists, architects, and historians alike.
