The Temple of Baalat in Thuburbo Majus in modern-day Tunisia is a small square temple dedicated to the Punic goddess Baalat, chief goddess of the ancient city of Byblos (Gebal) in Phoenicia. The temple, whose plan shows both Roman and Oriental influence, features a semicircular porticoed courtyard with an angular outline, preceded by a small prostyle temple that stands on a podium.
