Although the Roman temple of Évora is often called the Temple of Diana, it is known that the association with the Roman goddess of hunting originated from a legend created in the seventeenth century. In fact, the temple was probably built in honor of the emperor Augustus, who was venerated as a god during and after his reign. The temple was built in the first century AD in the main square (forum) of Évora - then called the Liberia Iulia - and modified in the second and third centuries. Evora was invaded by the Germanic peoples in the fifth century, and it was at this time that the temple was destroyed; nowadays, its ruins are the only vestiges of the Roman forum in the city.
It is part of the historical center of the city, and was classified as a World Heritage by UNESCO. It is one of the most famous landmarks of the city, and a symbol of the Roman presence in Portuguese territory.
