Temple of Diana, Mérida
Templo de Diana
A Roman imperial cult temple in central Mérida, its Corinthian colonnade rising among the streets; free to view.
The Temple of Diana was built in the late 1st century BC and was actually used to honor Roman emperors. It survived because it was later converted into a noble residence, and walls from that 16th-century residence can still be seen around it. Its tall granite Corinthian colonnade stands in the city center and is especially striking when lit up at night. Located near the city square, it can be viewed from the outside for free, and it can be combined on a walking tour with the neighboring town hall square, the Alcazaba fortress, and the Roman Bridge.
