Ciao a tutti,
questo è un viaggio attraverso l'Italia. Posterò una foto al giorno con una brevissima descrizione. Spero vi piaccia!
Metaponto è un piccolo borgo della provincia di Matera, nella regione italiana meridionale della Basilicata.
Situato di fronte alla Costa Jonica, nella parte del Golfo di Taranto, è oggi meta culturale e balneare.
Diverse le ipotesi delle sue origini, tra cui alcune leggendarie: una la collega all'arrivo di Mètabo, figlio di Sisifo che fu re d'Epiro; un altro collega l'arrivo di Focesi via mare; e ancora un altro collegamento con l'arrivo di veterani o legionari di Pilesi dall'assediata Troia.
Ricorrenti nei racconti storici i popoli Achei e Leucippo, che arrivarono via mare durante l'VIII secolo aC e fondarono i centri di Metaponto, Siris e Pandosia.
A partire dalla metà dell'VIII secolo aC, l'arrivo della ceramica greca nella località di Metaponto fornisce la testimonianza di un vasto commercio ad essa collegata.
Fu dall'inizio del VII secolo, tuttavia, che la presenza di gruppi permanenti esterni, come commercianti e artigiani greci, creò la base per la fondazione, all'inizio dell'ultimo quarto del VII secolo aC, della colonia degli Achei di cui hanno parlato fonti antiche.
Il parco archeologico di Metaponto conserva monumenti che raccontano la storia del sito, dalle sue origini fino all'era romana. Questi includono: i resti del santuario urbano dedicato ad Apollo Licio, l'adiacente Agora (piazza del mercato o dell'assemblea), il distretto ceramico o Kerameikos e un piano urbanistico regolare costituito da blocchi lunghi e stretti, con una plateia (che rappresentava la strada principale).
Nell'area sacra, i principali templi dorici hanno il loro posto: Heranion, Apollonion, Hera, Apollo Lykaiosc e Atena (Athena). L'Agorà ospita il teatro a semicerchio costruito su uno precedentemente circolare.
I turisti possono ancora visitare le splendide "Tavole Palatine", ovvero le colonne che appartenevano a un tempio greco e risalgono al VI secolo prima di Cristo; il tempio era dedicato alla dea Era.
Da vedere: Il Parco Archeologico di Metaponto, il Tempio di Athena, il Tempio di Apollo, il Tempio di Hera, il Tempio di Afrodite, il Tavole Palatino, l'Agorà, il Teatro, l'Antiquarium, l'Area Sacra, la Necropoli, il Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Metaponto Lido.
Hello everyone,
I began a Photo Journey through Italy. I will post one photo every day with a little note of explanation. I hope you like it!
Metaponto is a small town in the province of Matera, in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata. Situated in front of the Jonic Coast, on the part of the Gulf of Taranto, it today is both a cultural and seaside destination.
Its foundation cites various hypotheses, including some legendary: one links it to the arrival of Mètabo, son of Sisifo who was King of Epiro; another links the arrival of Focesi by sea; and yet another links to the arrival of Pilesi veterans or legionaries from besieged Troy.
History is content to nominate the Achei and Leucippo peoples, who arrived by sea during the VIII century BC and founded the centres of Metaponto, Siris and Pandosia.
From the mid-8th century BC the arrival of Greek pottery at the location of Metaponto gives us evidence of wide-ranging trade. It was from the beginning of the 7th century, however, that the presence of permanent external groups, such as Greek merchants and craftsmen, created the basis for the foundation, at the beginning of the last quarter of the 7th century BC, of the Achaean colony of which ancient sources spoke.
Metaponto Archaeological Park preserves monuments which narrate the history of the site, from its foundation until the Roman era. This includes: the remains of the urban sanctuary dedicated to Apollo Licio (Lycian Apollo), the adjacent Agora (market/assembly square), the ceramic or Kerameikos district and a regular town plan consisting of long and narrow blocks, with a plateia (the main street).
In the sacred area, the main Doric temples have their own place: Heranion, Apollonion, Hera, Apollo Lykaiosc and Atena (Athena). The Agora hosts the semicircle theatre built on a previous circular one.
Tourists can still enjoy the beautiful "Tavole Palatine", that are the columns remaining from a Greek temple and date back to the 6th century before Christ; the temple was dedicated to the Goddess Hera.
Thing to see: The Metaponto Archaeological Park, Athena Temple, Apollo Temple, Hera Temple, Aphrodite Temple, Tavole Palatine, Agorà, Theatre, Antiquarium, Sacred Area, Necropolis, National Archaeological Museum, Metaponto Lido.

La Magna Grecia è un luogo splendido, dove è possibile fare un bellissimo salto nel passato. Capitelli e templi ci permettono di conoscere di persona ciò che da bambini abbiamo studiato sui libri di storia dell'arte.

Those are remnants from Roman empire? If it is, the Romans seem to be born as natural mathematician and engineers! Amazing to see those architectures.

Awesome...i've been seeing that travole paletine on my computer, i never knew it is found in Italy.
The materials that were used to erect the temple must be very strong for the remains to remain up-to-date from 16th century.
