Description
For more than a thousand years, Roman might, Roman art, and Roman law and religion flourished here and spread throughout Europe and beyond. The first buildings here were temples, followed by public buildings.
Here, the remains of two temples still stand on either side of the Via Sacra "Sacred Street", the main street of ancient Rome
The Temple of Saturn, built about 497 BC, was one of the most important of the Republic. Eight columns still remain on the northern façade. The first temple in the Forum, it was dedicated by the Romans to their supreme god.
Three 12-meter Corinthian columns are all that survive from the Temple of Castor and Pollux, rebuilt in the reign of Tiberius in the first century AD to replace the original, built in 484 BC.
