Temple of Nike at Himera

The Temple of Nike at Himera is an ancient Greek temple located in the Himera Archaeological Park in Sicily, Italy. It was built in the 5th century BC to honor the Greek goddess of victory, Nike.

The temple was designed in the Doric style, and it is a peripteral temple, meaning it is surrounded by a single row of columns. The temple's floor plan measures 20.72 meters by 40.55 meters, and it was constructed using local sandstone.
