Best temples in Italy

Italy here means the Greek temples of Magna Graecia, plus Rome’s Great Synagogue. Five of the six entries are Doric temples built by Greek colonists in the sixth and fifth centuries BC, among the best preserved anywhere. Sicily has four: the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento, with the near-complete Temple of Concordia on its ridge; the unfinished temple of Segesta, alone on a hill below its theatre; the fallen and re-erected temples of Selinunte; and the Temple of Apollo at the entrance to Ortygia in Syracuse. On the mainland, Paestum south of Salerno keeps three temples and a museum of painted tombs. In Rome, the Great Synagogue of 1904 rises above the Tiber.
