Donukltaş, Roman temple ruins in Tarsus, Turkey
The rectangular structure extends 98 meters in length and 43 meters in width, with remaining walls reaching a height of 8 meters.
Archaeological investigations between 1982 and 1992 revealed that the temple was constructed during the 2nd century under Roman rule.
The temple underwent changes in religious significance, transitioning from housing the Hittite deity Sandon to becoming a Temple of Jupiter.
The archaeological site lies within the urban area of Tarsus, approximately 29 kilometers from Mersin and north of Turkish state highway D.400.
The walls contain Roman cement that originally supported marble cladding, demonstrating advanced construction methods of the period.
