This temple is considered to be the largest temple in ancient Rome, adjacent to the Colosseum. Designed by Emperor Hadrian, it was dedicated by Rome to Venus, a goddess whose history can be traced back to the second century A.D. Also used as the Pope's Good Friday ceremony, there is a burning cross.

    temple of Venus and Rome is on the right side of basilica Massentio, and you can see the panoramic view of the Colosseum next door. It feels like one of the best viewing points in the Colosseum.

    Temple of Venus and Rome is a well-preserved building near the ancient Roman Square. Tourists can visit it. Although there are not many exhibits in it, it is also a very good harvest to see murals and stone statues on the wall at close range.

    Venus and Roman temples are considered the largest temples in ancient Rome. Mount Villian, located between the eastern edge of the Plaza de Rome and the Colosseum, was dedicated to Venus and eternal Rome. The architect was Emperor Hadrian. The temple was built in 121 A.D. and officially completed in 135 A.D. and was finally completed by Anthony Pius in 141 A.D. The temple was damaged by fire in 307 A.D. and later rebuilt and restored by Emperor Maxonitius. A severe earthquake in the early ninth century destroyed the temple. About 850 A.D., Pope Leo IV ordered the construction of a new church on the ruins of the temple. The church was rebuilt in 1612 and renamed St. Francesca Romana. Modern temples were renovated on a large scale in order to be open to the outside world. Overlooking Venus and Roman temples from the Colosseum viewing platform, the church bell tower stands behind the temple. There are eighteen white pillars in the South and north of the temple, all of which are 1.8 meters wide, making the temple very spectacular.
