EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of the Temple of Neptune and Basilica in Pesto, Italy, circa 1900. Located in the ancient Greek ruins of Paestum, these structures have stood the test of time, bearing witness to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The Temple of Neptune, also known as the Temple of Poseidon in Greek mythology, is a stunning Doric temple dedicated to the god of the sea. Its imposing fluted columns, adorned with triglyphs and metopes, rise majestically against the clear blue sky. The temple's pediment, which once held intricate sculptures, now lies in ruins, adding to its mysterious allure. The Basilica, on the other hand, is a Roman-era building believed to have been used as a marketplace or a law court. Its columns, although broken and covered in moss and grass, still exude an air of grandeur and importance. The green landscape surrounding the ruins adds to the serene and picturesque scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when these magnificent structures were in their prime. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our ancient heritage and the beauty that lies in the ruins of the past.
