★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Located nearby the Tiber, in an area which one time was strongly associated with foreigners and trade due to its closeness to the river. This temple is one of the firsts examples of Greek style and architecture in Rome. I strongly recommend visit it.
Free entrance, visitable h24.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ These two temples are absolutely extraordinary. Each is a marvelous example of classical proportions. Exceptionally well preserved. According to legend, Romulus and Remus were raised in the marshes nearby or right in the spot. Hence that enormous Roman arena next door.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Temple of Hercules Victor ('Hercules the Winner') (Italian: Tempio di Ercole Vincitore) or Hercules Olivarius is a Roman temple in Piazza Bocca della Verità, in the area of the Forum Boarium close to the Tiber in Rome, Italy. It is a tholos - a round temple of Greek 'peripteral' design completely encircled by a colonnade. This layout caused it to be mistaken for a temple of Vesta until it was correctly identified by Napoleon's Prefect of Rome, Camille de Tournon. Despite (or perhaps due to) the Forum Boarium's role as the cattle-market for ancient Rome, the Temple of Hercules is the subject of a folk belief claiming that neither flies nor dogs will enter the holy place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Evidently it is possible to get permission to enter but I have only observed it from the outside.
It is historically significant as it is one of the oldest freestanding marble temples in the world. And it is beautiful.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's worth seeing, and just taking a moment to sit and enjoy the surrounding view of old architecture and crowds of people across the street hurling to see a big mouth. This place is better :-D

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An ancient roman temple near the Tiber River composing a bucolic landscape between the traffic of Roman. It is worth stopping a few minutes to enjoy the view.
