Temple of Portunus, Roman temple in Forum Boarium, Italy
The Temple of Portunus stands with four Ionic columns at its facade and features engaged columns along its rectangular travertine and tufa structure.
Built between 120-80 BCE, the temple served as a place of worship for Portunus, the Roman god of ports and harbors near the Tiber River.
The temple exhibits a combination of Roman, Etruscan, and Greek architectural elements, reflecting the multicultural influences in Republican Rome's construction methods.
The structure underwent extensive restoration work between 2006 and 2014, supported by the World Monuments Fund and archaeological authorities in Rome.
The temple's conversion into a Christian church in 872 CE protected it from destruction, preserving its original architectural features through centuries.
