The Roman temple in Pula, Croatia, built during the early first century AD and dedicated to Augustus is the Temple of Augustus.
Pula was known in Roman times as Pietas Iulia, and the temple formed part of a three-temple complex in the city forum. Its original dedication honoured both Rome and Augustus, but “Temple of Augustus” is the standard English name and the single answer expected in a quiz. The temple was probably begun between 27 BC and Augustus’s death in AD 14; surviving evidence places completion around AD 14.
The building is a tetrastyle prostyle temple, meaning its porch has four Corinthian columns. It stands on a podium and measures roughly 17.85 metres long, 8.05 metres wide, and 14 metres high. Its richly decorated frieze resembles that of the Maison Carrée at Nîmes.
After antiquity, it became a church under Byzantine rule and later a granary. Allied bombing nearly destroyed it in 1944, but it was reconstructed in 1947 and now functions as a lapidarium.
