Temple of Augustus, Roman temple in Altındağ, Turkey.
The Temple of Augustus sits on a two-meter-high podium and features Corinthian columns, with dimensions of 36 by 54 meters.
The temple was constructed between 25-20 BCE after Emperor Augustus conquered central Anatolia and established the province of Galatia.
The walls contain inscriptions of Res Gestae Divi Augusti in Latin and Greek, documenting the achievements of the first Roman emperor.
The structure stands next to Hacı Bayram Mosque, and visitors can view the remaining foundation walls and stepped sections surrounding the platform.
This temple preserves the most complete surviving copy of Augustus's autobiography, known as the Monumentum Ancyranum.

Ankara, the capital of Turkey, features evidence of twenty-five centuries of history. The Ankara Citadel overlooks the city from its hill at 978 meters above sea level, with 16-meter-high stone walls. The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations occupies a 15th-century Ottoman caravanserai and displays archaeological collections from the Paleolithic to the classical era. Atatürk’s mausoleum, built in 1953, exhibits personal items and documents of the founder of the Turkish Republic in its 3,000 m² museum. Roman remains include the Augusteum from the first century BC, decorated with Latin and Greek inscriptions, as well as the Roman Baths from the third century. Religious landmarks reflect different periods: the Hacı Bayram Mosque from 1427 retains its marble decorations and Ottoman calligraphy, while the Kocatepe Mosque, completed in 1987, can hold up to 24,000 people. The Ethnographic Museum displays costumes, carpets, and musical instruments from Turkish regions, completing a journey through the cultures and civilizations that shaped this Anatolian city.
