Temple of Vesta: Tourist contemplating the Vestal area

Date

Circa 1910

Part of: Architectural Lantern Slides of Italy
Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries

Located in the Roman Forum near the Regia and the House of the Vestal Virgins. The temple's most recognizable feature is its circular footprint. The extant temple used Greek architecture with Corinthian columns, marble, and a central cella. The remaining structure indicates that there were twenty Corinthian columns built on a podium fifteen metres in diameter. All temples to Vesta were round, and had entrances facing east. The House of the Vestal Virgins (Latin: Atrium Vestae) was the place where Vestal Virgins lived. It was located just behind their circular Temple of Vesta at the eastern edge of the Roman Forum, between the Regia and the Palatine Hill, in Rome.
