Temple of Juno Caelestis
Temple of Juno Caelestis, Roman temple in Dougga, Tunisia.
The Temple of Juno Caelestis stands on a podium accessible by eleven steps, featuring classical columns and detailed stone carvings throughout its structure.
Constructed between 222 and 235 AD during Severus Alexander's reign, this religious edifice represents a period of substantial Roman architectural development in North Africa.
The temple combines Roman architectural elements with local Punic influences, as Juno Caelestis evolved from the earlier worship of the Carthaginian goddess Tanit.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the main entrance.
The temple's surrounding enclosure forms a distinct crescent shape, reflecting lunar symbolism connected to the goddess's celestial aspects in Roman religious practices.
