Temple of Venus in Pompeii, Roman temple ruins in Pompeii, Italy.
The Temple of Venus stands on a raised platform measuring 30 meters by 15 meters, featuring marble construction and two rows of columns along its sides.
Following the earthquake of 62 AD, the temple underwent significant restoration work, which remained incomplete when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD.
The temple dedication to Venus reflected the strong connection between Pompeii and the goddess, as evidenced by the colony name Cornelia Veneria Pompeianorum.
The temple remains are located in Regio VIII Insula 1 of Pompeii, accessible through the northeastern entrance connected to Via Marina.
The temple structure included specific pedestals on its eastern side designed for statues, with surrounding walls that created a distinct separation of sacred space.
