TEMPLO ROMANO
This beautiful set of fourteen Corinthian columns is one of the symbols of the Alentejo.
Emblematic monument of the city, called for a long time "Temple of Diana", this beautiful set of fourteen Corinthian columns is one of the symbols of the Alentejo. According to reconstructions, its roof was made of marble, and it was surrounded by water mirrors to enhance the place. Built in the first century of our era, in the Middle Ages, its foundations were used to build a large slaughterhouse over it. This last building was completely destroyed by an earthquake in the 19th century, exposing again the remains of the Roman period..
