Capo Colonna

From Crotone an interesting excursion can be made (11km/7mi) to Capo Colonna which has the remains of a temple of Hera Lacinia. The rounding of this cape by the Romans in 282 B.C. led to the outbreak of the Pyrrhic War. In 203 B.C. Hannibal sailed from here, leaving a record of his deeds in the temple.
