Temple of Augustus, Barcelona

The temple was the central building on Tàber Hill, currently in Carrer del Paradís number 10, in the city's so-called Gothic Quarter.

[1] If still in use by the fourth century AD, the temple would have been closed during the persecution of pagans under the Christian emperors.

At some point the temple was demolished, and its ruins were not discovered until the late 19th century, when three of its columns appeared on the construction site of Centre Excursionista de Catalunya.

According to Josep Puig i Cadafalch, architect Antoni Celles wrote once a complete description and a map of the temple during excavations as early as 1830 financed by the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce.

The Temple of Augustus is one of the Barcelona City History Museum (MUHBA) heritage sites.
