Fun fact: Despite being in Italy, they were built by the Greeks rather than the Romans!

The pillars is common design used by Freemasons. From Sumer to Mayan, Egypt, Rome, and other civilizations. William Milton Cooper aka Bill Cooper had an amazing radio episode describing the math, geometry, Masons aprons, etc. You can find a video of this Atlatean Garden youtube channel.

I was here just last year! The park is an awesome place to visit with several temples like this one and lots of other dig sites with housing and a tiered assembly space. There’s also a great indoor museum on site with tons of artifacts and the famous "Tomb of the Diver." Definitely worth the visit if you’re passing through the Naples area

It’s like a textbook example of a Greek temple of the Doric style: Simple, but carefully shaped columns without any foot and only a simple capital. Low pedestal with stairs which go all around the temple. A frieze with triglyphs. It is interesting to compare this one with a typical Roman temple like the Maison Carrée in Nîmes.
