Next to the Town Hall is the only Roman temple of which we have archaeological evidence. Dedicated to the cult of the Emperor, it dates from the 1st century AD and its dimensions surprise.
Located -at its origins- in the centre of a porticoed square, the temple rose from a high podium and had six isolated Corinthian columns at is entrance. Facing the entrance was the altar.
The base (3.5m) and eleven Corinthian columns have been reconstructed. Some elements from the original temple are on display in the Archaeological Museum or in singular and beautiful spots in the city such as the fluted column in Plaza de las Doblas.
