Maiden Castle and Jordan Hill Temples: better than the Acropolis? Not quite Sounion?

 

 Minerva/Athena

I visited two ruined temples today, Roman or Romano-Celtic.

The one on top of Maiden Castle may have been dedicated to Minerva (Athena).

With the skylarks singing on a warm day, it is almost better than the Acropolis, if not quite the Parthenon!

Jordan Hill, Weymouth, isn't as impressive as Sounion, I admit, but the view below the temple out across the bay to Portland is special. Not a bad spot from which to watch some of the sailing Olympics in 2012.
