Temple of Jupiter Custos, Roman temple on Capitoline Hill, Italy.
The Temple of Jupiter Custos features white marble columns, standing on a raised platform with wide stone steps leading to the entrance.
Construction began in 509 BC, marking one of the earliest large temples in Rome, incorporating both Etruscan and Greek architectural elements over time.
The temple housed sacred statues of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, serving as a central location for religious ceremonies during the Roman Empire.
Foundation remains and stone blocks from the temple structure are visible through organized tours departing from the Capitoline Museums.
The temple roof once displayed gold sheets and contained a bronze quadriga, replaced in 296 BC by craftsmen known for creating the Capitoline Wolf.
