Greek temple found in seaA Greek temple has been found in the sea in front of Reggio Calabria's main railway station.

A team of police divers and archaeologists said the temple was probably the famous Temple of Artemis in the 8th-century BC Greek city of Reghion, Reggio Calabria's ancestor.

Archaeologists at Reggio Calabria's famous Magna Graecia Museum said there were historical records of such a temple in Reghion but they could not yet say whether it was this one.

The city's coastline has moved since ancient times, sinking parts of Reghion beneath the sea.
