Roman Provincial Forum, Archaeological site in Mérida, Spain

The Roman Provincial Forum features granite temples, porticoed buildings, and architectural remains dating from the first century of the Roman Empire.

The forum, constructed in 50 AD, served as the principal governmental center of Emerita Augusta, the capital of the Roman province of Lusitania.

The Temple of Diana within the forum complex demonstrates the practice of imperial worship through its architectural design and ceremonial spaces.

The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours, offers guided tours in multiple languages, and provides educational materials about Roman urban planning.

Local granite stones from the region were used to construct the monumental buildings, incorporating regional materials into classical Roman architecture.
