Parco Archeologico dell'Area Urbana di Metaponto

area archeologica custodisce ciò che resta della città di Metapontum, creata dagli Achei nella seconda parte del VII secolo a.C. e comprendente il santuario urbano, una parte della piazza pubblica e l’asse stradale nord-sud in base al quale è stato impostato l’intero complesso urbano. Nel santuario sono presenti edifici templari in stile dorico (Tempio di Hera e Tempio di Apollo) e ionico (Tempio di Artemis) e un sacello probabilmente dedicato ad Atena, costruiti tra il VI e il V secolo a.C. Nell’agorà è rilevabile l’imponenza architettonica del teatro che, nel IV secolo a.C., ha sostituito un edificio arcaico destinato alle assemblee cittadine. Nell’area compresa tra l’agorà e la linea delle mura a orientali svetta il Castro Romano, forse sede di una guarnigione militare romana durante il III secolo a.C.
