Tempio di Apollo, Roman temple in Cumae, Italy
The Temple of Apollo features six columns on its front facade and rests on a tufa platform measuring thirty-four meters long and eighteen meters wide.
The original Greek temple was constructed in the 6th century BCE, later rebuilt during the Augustan period following instructions from Emperor Augustus himself.
The temple holds significance in Roman mythology as Virgil wrote that Aeneas visited this temple, built by Daedalus who dedicated his escape wings to Apollo.
The temple structure includes three naves with side openings separated by trachyte pillars, and contains an octagonal baptismal font on its southern side.
The temple underwent transformation between the 6th and 8th centuries CE, converting from a pagan temple into a Christian basilica with added burial spaces.
