Augustus Temple

Welcome to the Temple of Augustus, located in Ankara's historic Ulus district, right next to the Hacı Bayram-ı Veli Mosque. One of the most important remnants of Roman history in Ankara, this structure was built in the late 1st century BC in honor of Roman Emperor Augustus. One of the temple's most valuable features is the surviving inscription on its walls, "Res Gestae Divi Augusti," which recounts the significant deeds of Augustus throughout his life. Therefore, the structure is of great importance not only for Ankara's history but also for research into Roman history. Having witnessed different eras over the centuries, the Temple of Augustus, along with the adjacent Hacı Bayram-ı Veli Mosque, is one of the most special places where you can see Ankara's multifaceted history, from Roman to Ottoman times, all in one place.
