Caesareum of Alexandria, Roman temple in Alexandria, Egypt
The Caesareum featured grand courtyards, colonnades, and monumental gates, reflecting both Egyptian and Roman architectural elements in its construction.
Cleopatra VII initiated the temple construction to honor Julius Caesar, but Augustus completed and rededicated it to himself after defeating Mark Antony.
The temple complex transformed from a center of Roman imperial worship to a Christian church in the fourth century under Bishop Cyril.
Archaeological excavations at the site reveal fragments of the original structure near the current location of Saad Zaghloul's statue.
Two obelisks that once marked the temple entrance now stand in Central Park, New York, and along the Thames Embankment in London.
