Temple of Castor and Pollux

Temple of Castor and Pollux : The Michelin guide review

Just below the Basilica Julia stand the three fine Corinthian columns of the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the rising profile of their white marble evoking the magnificence with which Augustus sought to endow the city. The temple recalls the legend of Castor and Pollux, sons of Jupiter and Leda, who came to the aid of the Romans, thereby assuring their victory over the Latins.
