Gallo-Roman temple in Izernore

The temple structure spans 17.5 meters in length and 15 meters in width, featuring white panels with plant motifs on its walls.

Archaeological investigations in 2014 under Emmanuel Ferber examined the temple's construction phases and multiple restorations since the 17th century.

The temple displays painted plaster decorations with animal and plant motifs from the late 1st or 2nd century, representing Roman artistic expression.

Visitors can examine three standing marble columns and scattered architectural blocks that belong to the second construction phase of the temple.

The temple features an unusual southern entrance, diverging from the traditional western entrances found in similar Roman religious structures.
