Temple of Jupiter Anxur

The temple complex spans three terraces on Mount Sant'Angelo, featuring twelve round arches and extensive corridors with remaining structural elements from ancient times.

Construction of this religious complex began in the third century BC, with major expansions occurring during the first century BC to include military facilities.

Archaeological findings reveal that the temple was actually dedicated to Venus Obsequens rather than Jupiter, as evidenced by inscriptions discovered at the site.

The archaeological site remains open daily from 9:00 to 23:00, with entrance fees of 6 euros for adults and reduced rates for children.

Natural caverns beneath the temple contained an oracular stone system where wind currents created sounds interpreted as divine messages.
