Extract

The ancient remains in the Heraion Valley at Perachora are arranged in three groups. Firstly, by the little harbour the group including the West Court, the sixth-century temple of Hera Akraia (and, before that, the earliest temple), the altar, and the angled stoa. Secondly, above the first, rather steep section of the valley, and partly concealed behind a spur of the hill to the south, the double apsidal cistern and the hestiatorion. Thirdly, some distance behind this, and preceded by the ‘sacred pool’, the series of terraces, on the uppermost of which is the building identified as the Temple of Hera Limenia. This identification has led to the idea that there were, in effect, two sanctuaries; in publishing the double apsidal cistern and the hestiatorion I include them in ‘remains outside the two sanctuaries’
