Ancient Temple in Bourgogne:Saône-et-Loire (71)

The "Temple of Janus" is a Romano-Celtic religious building constructed in 1st century CE. The temple's dedication to the Roman god Janus is not based on any archaeological evidence and so the identity of the god venerated in the temple is unknown.

It lies in the centre of a vast "sanctuary" dating back to neolithic times, the extent and complexity of which was revealed by excavations conducted between 2013 and 2016.
