About this title

Synopsis

The classical Greek towns of southern Italy and Sicily first shot to fame as "must sees" on the Grand Tour. Paestum, Segesta, Selinunt and Agrigent had to step in for the ideal of the classical temples of Greece, since the cradle of classical civilization was under Turkish rule. This large book looks at these towns, their ancient monuments and temples, and the other feats of Classical architecture that have made them famous. Filled with color photographs and plans. German text.

Review

A remarkable scholarly achievement... clearly destined to become a standard work of reference, especially as far as monumental architecture is concerned, for decades to come. Scholars and students should be grateful to Dieter Mertens for undertaking this task and bringing it to completion in such a remarkable way.'--Nino Luraghi, Princeton University"Bryn Mawr Classical Review" (08/01/2010)
