Roman temple of Alcántara, Roman temple in Alcántara, Spain.
The stone temple stands next to the Alcántara Bridge, featuring two Tuscan columns at its entrance and a rectangular design with a single interior cell.
Architect Gaius Julius Lacer completed this temple in 103 AD, dedicating the structure to Emperor Trajan and the gods of ancient Rome.
The temple transformed into the Chapel of Saint Julian following the conquest of Cáceres by Ferdinand II of Leon in 1169.
The temple structure contains granite blocks of equal size throughout its construction, with an exterior staircase leading to the main entrance.
The tomb of architect Gaius Julius Lacer remains inside this temple, which stands as one of only two complete Roman temples in Spain.
