List of Ancient Roman temples


Ancient Roman temples were built during antiquity by the people of ancient Rome or peoples belonging to the Roman Empire. These temples were dedicated to divinities from the Roman pantheon.

Most of the best survivals had been converted to churches (and sometimes later mosques), which some remain. Rural areas in the Islamic world have some good remains, which had been left largely undisturbed. In Spain some remarkable discoveries (Vic, Cordoba, Barcelona) were made in the 19th century when old buildings being reconstructed or demolished were found to contain major remains encased in later buildings. In Rome, Pula, and elsewhere some walls incorporated in later buildings have always been evident. In most cases loose pieces of stone have been removed from the site, and some such as capitals may be found in local museums, along with non-architectural items excavated, such as terracotta votive statuettes or amulets, which are often found in large numbers.

Not much remains to be seen, but there were temples at Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa (6),Alburnus Major (2),Apulum,TibiscumPorolissum and probably Potaissa (suggested by five neighboring altars), as well as other sites.
