What to see
The temple was probably built in the second century AD, under Hadrian. A colossal seated cult statue, perhaps 10–12 metres high, stood on a raised base at the back of the dim hall, with a cistern and hidden passages beneath; round towers with courts flank the main building. In early Byzantine times a church was built inside it.
Half an hour; it lies in the old town, close to the river.
