Temple of Jupiter Anxur, Roman sanctuary in Terracina, Italy.

The Temple of Jupiter Anxur stands at 227 meters above sea level on Monte Sant'Angelo, featuring multiple terraces and defensive structures from ancient times.

The Romans established this religious complex after conquering the Volscian settlement of Anxur in the late 5th century BC, turning it into a colony by 329 BC.

The temple contained an oracle system where visitors inserted their questions into a cavity to receive divine guidance from Jupiter Anxur, the young version of Jupiter.

The archaeological site opens daily from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM with entrance fees of 7 euros for adults and 5 euros for reduced tickets.

The sanctuary includes a triple enclosure symbol near Monte Leano, marking it as a sacred site according to ancient Roman religious practices.
