Temple of Flora in Rome, Ancient religious sanctuary on Quirinal Hill, Rome, Italy
The Temple of Flora stood at the end of Via delle Quattro Fontane, outside the Porta Quirinalis between the Pincian and Quirinal hills.
Established in 238 BCE following the introduction of the Floralia festival, the temple remained active until the decline of pagan practices in the fourth century.
The temple complex included a circus where Romans celebrated Floralia from April 28 to May 3 with theatrical performances and springtime festivities.
Archaeological excavations in 1825 near the Capuchin Cross revealed imperial walls extending from San Nicola in Arcione to Via del Basilico.
The foundations of Palazzo Barberini incorporate the ancient arches that once formed part of the circus structure attached to the temple.
