About
A modern building incorporates the remains of this Roman temple from the 2nd century.
After his death, Emperor Hadrian was deified by his successor Antoninus Pius and dedicated a large temple to him in 145. The temple was located within the Campus Martius, a central area in ancient Rome. It was filled with monuments and religious buildings that were mostly destroyed over the centuries. Like many of the other ancient buildings in the area, during the 17th-century the temple was mostly in ruins. In 1695 it became incorporated into a papal palace. In 1831, some parts of the cella were still visible inside the modern building.
