The Heraion of Samos was a great sanctuary in the southern region of Samos, 6 km southwest of the ancient city, in a low, marshy river basin near the sea. The Late Archaic Heraion of Samos was the first of the gigantic free-standing Ionic temples, but its predecessors at this site reached back to the Geometric Period of the 8th century BCE or earlier. The site of temple's ruins, with its sole standing column, was designated a joint UNESCO World 🗺 Heritage Site, along with the nearby Pythagoreion in 1992. The Turkish coast is just under 1 km away.
