Temple of Venus and Roma

#romanforum One of the largest temples of ancient Rome, the Temple of Venus and Roma once stood as a symbol of the city’s divine power. Commissioned by Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, it was dedicated to Venus, the goddess of love, and Roma, the personification of the city. Though much of it is in ruins, the remains still convey its grand scale. Its location near the Colosseum offers stunning views of both landmarks. For history and architecture lovers, it’s a fascinating site that showcases Hadrian’s vision for Rome. Visiting at sunset makes for an especially breathtaking experience.
