The temple of Athena at Paestum, incorrectly known as the Temple of Ceres (Tempio di Cerere) since the 18th century, is a Greek Doric temple that was constructed at the end of the 6th c. BCE, using mostly the local travertine, with some use of local sandstone for architectural details. It is peripteral hexastyle, 6x 13 columns in the peristyle, and had Ionic columns in the porch, the earliest known Doric structure to do so. The temple is the primary building in the so-called Northern Sanctuary (santuario settentrionale) and occupies the highest point in the ancient city (which is still not very high), and it was preceded by an earlier temple in the area.
