Temple of Apollo, Roman temple site in Mdina, Malta

The Temple of Apollo was a Roman temple in Melite, today's Mdina, built in the 2nd century AD of marble. It had a tetrastyle portico with Ionic columns raised on a podium and overlooked a semi-circular theatre. A wall of its crepidoma was found in Villegaignon Street in 2002.

Excavations in 2002 on Villegaignon Street uncovered the crepidoma, the stepped foundation parts from the 2nd century. An inscription from 1747 mentions a private benefactor who supported the construction of the building in Roman times.

The temple was dedicated to Apollo, god of the sun and music. Its architecture followed the Carthaginian style also popular in Roman North Africa. Marble blocks from the site were later carved into altars and decorative elements for St. Paul's Cathedral in Mdina, St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat, and churches in Valletta.

The temple fragments are built into several buildings and churches along the streets of the town and visible during a walking tour. The remains are best viewed in daylight when enough natural light brings out the details of the stones.

Marble blocks from the temple were carved into altars and decorative elements for St. Paul's Cathedral in Mdina, St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat, and two Valletta churches, the Franciscan Church of St Mary of Jesus and the Church of the Holy Souls. The archaeologist Antonio Annetto Caruana noted in 1882 that finds from 1710 and 1747 sat in private collections, including that of Mr. Sant Fournier.
