The Roman Temple of Evora is a well-preserved ancient structure located in the city of Évora, Portugal. This temple is believed to have been built in the 1st century AD, during the Roman occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. The temple is a rectangular structure, with six granite columns on the front and back, and eleven on the sides. The columns are Corinthian in style, and are topped with ornate capitals. The temple is made of marble and granite, and is approximately 15 meters high.
The temple was originally dedicated to the Roman goddess Diana, but was later converted into a Christian church in the 5th century AD. The temple was then used as a butcher's shop, a slaughterhouse, and a warehouse before being restored in the 19th century. Today, the temple is a popular tourist attraction and is considered one of the best-preserved Roman structures in Portugal.
Visitors to the Roman Temple of Evora can explore the temple's interior, which features a small museum with exhibits on the history of the temple and the Roman occupation of Portugal. The temple is also surrounded by a beautiful park, which offers stunning views of the city and the surrounding countryside. The park is a popular spot for picnics and relaxation, and is a great place to take in the beauty of the temple and its surroundings.
Overall, the Roman Temple of Evora is a fascinating piece of history that offers visitors a glimpse into the ancient world of the Roman Empire. Its impressive architecture and rich history make it a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Évora.
