Templo de Isis, Roman temple in Baelo Claudia archaeological site, Spain.

The Temple of Isis features a rectangular layout measuring 30 meters in length and 18 meters in width, enclosed by a high perimeter wall.

Built in the 2nd century BCE, this temple served as a religious center within the Roman city of Baelo Claudia, connecting the Iberian Peninsula with North Africa.

Two inscriptions discovered on the temple steps mention Lucius Vecilius and Marcus Sempronius Maximus, who made vows to the Egyptian goddess Isis.

The temple structure includes five distinct areas: an exterior portico, central courtyard, main sanctuary, priests' quarters, and an initiation chamber.

Archaeological excavations revealed the first documented organic remains of salted tuna production facilities adjacent to the temple in the ancient Roman world.
