Roman Etruscan temple

Roman Etruscan temple
Fiesole, Italy (IT)
Ruins of a Roman temple to Baccus, which was in turn built over an Etruscan temple. The building is perhaps 7th century in origin, but was rebuilt in the 11th century and radically restored several times thereafter. Some of the columns inside, which are either from the Roman temple of Baccus or the Roman Forum, have Paleochristian crosses on them, and one has an inscription to Venus.
