Temple of Augustus (Isparta)

The Temple of Augustus was built during the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus in the 1st century BC and was dedicated to him and the goddess Roma. The temple was one of the most important structures in the city, and it served as a symbol of Roman power and authority in the region. The Temple of Augustus was built on a podium and had a front portico with six Corinthian columns. The interior of the temple was richly decorated with sculptures and reliefs, many of which can still be seen today. After the decline of the Roman Empire, the temple was converted into a church in the 5th century, and later into a mosque during the Ottoman era. Today, the Temple of Augustus is a popular tourist destination and an important historical landmark in the region.
