Shrine of Hercules Curinus
Shrine of Hercules Curinus, Archaeological site in Sulmona, Italy.
The Shrine of Hercules Curinus features a complex multi-level terracing system with fourteen vaulted rooms and a large podium measuring 71 meters in length.
The sanctuary, constructed by the Peligni people, underwent major expansion after the Social War in 89 BC and remained active until early Christian times.
The temple contained bronze and marble statues of Hercules, reflecting the Roman reverence for this deity associated with pastoralism and travel routes.
The archaeological site maintains continuous access throughout the year and received 3,543 visitors in 2018, followed by 690 visitors in 2019.
A bronze statue discovered at the site, gifted by merchant Marcus Attius Peticius Marsus, now resides in the Archaeological Museum of Chieti.
