The current site is an archeological garden, also containing Pompey's Column, as the temple was destroyed by christians during a revolt in 391 CE which Diocletion subdued. A large Apis Bull statue has been taken to the Alexandria Greco-Roman Museum.
Note: Giant monolith from a submerged Alexandrian temple resurfaces, see comment
