Temple of Serapis, Roman temple on Quirinal Hill, Rome, Italy
The Temple of Serapis spread across 13,000 square meters with massive columns and an extended courtyard near the current Palazzo Colonna location.
Emperor Caracalla commissioned the construction of this temple during the early third century CE to honor the Egyptian deity Serapis.
The temple represented the fusion of Roman architecture with Egyptian religious elements, reflecting the integration of foreign deities into Roman worship.
The remains of the temple structure include substantial marble fragments and architectural elements scattered around the Quirinal district.
The temple floor contained specialized water drainage systems that maintained the structure's stability on the hillside terrain.
