Roman temple of Alcántara : ウィキペディア英語版 | Roman temple of Alcántara
The Roman temple of Alcántara is located at one side of the Alcántara Bridge, Cáceres, Extremadura (Spain). Along with the Roman temple of Vic, it is one of the only two Roman temples preserved nearly complete in Spain. == History == The bridge, triumphal arch and temple were all designed by the same architect, Gaius Julius Lacer, who dedicated the latter to the deified emperors of Rome. He concluded his work in 103 AD. The origin of the architect appears to be local, but stylistically the features of the building appear closely related to contemporary buildings in the Italica province. This suggests that the architect either studied in what is today Italy, or was born there and later moved to the Lusitania province.〔http://web.educastur.princast.es/ies/arzobisp/Alumnos/HISTORIA/PDF/EL%20PUENTE%20ROMANO%20DE%20ALCANTARA.pdf〕 The temple was constructed as an offering to Trajan and the gods of Rome. After the conquest of Cáceres in 1169 by Ferdinand II of Leon, the temple was converted into a chapel of St. Julian; one reason the building remains so well-preserved. The conversion saw the addition of a belfry and a skull with tibias. The temple would eventually become a milestone along the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.〔(Revista de Folklore )〕 The architect was buried in the temple; his tomb is still preserved inside.
