The Capitolium of Volubilis in modern-day Morocco with its porticoed courtyard and single cella was a [temple](https://www.worldhistory.org/temple/) dedicated to [Jupiter](https://www.worldhistory.org/jupiter/), [Juno](https://www.worldhistory.org/Juno/), and [Minerva](https://www.worldhistory.org/Minerva/). It was completed under the reign of Emperor [Macrinus](https://www.worldhistory.org/Macrinus/) in 218 CE. Erected on a tall podium, this temple was probably peripteral and hexastyle (six columns) but was clumsily restored in modern times as a four-columned prostyle building. An altar stands in the courtyard.
