Sanctuary of Hercules Victor, Archaeological site and museum in Tivoli, Italy
The complex includes a Roman theater, grand colonnaded square, and temple built on a terrace above the Aniene river along Via Tiburtina.
During the second century BCE, Romans constructed this massive religious structure dedicated to Hercules, incorporating architectural elements of the Republican period.
The temple area hosted religious ceremonies and markets where shepherds gathered to trade goods under the protection of Hercules.
Visitors can access the site from Wednesday to Monday between 10:00 and 19:00, with guided tours explaining both archaeological and industrial features.
The sanctuary later housed Italy's first hydroelectric plant in 1886, transforming Tivoli into the first Italian city illuminated by electric power.
