Standing on Schönbühl Hill, one finds the old Roman religious district at Augusta Raurica in what is present-day Switzerland. It existed from the early days of the town. Around 50 CE, several small temples stood here. The buildings were typical of Gallo-Roman architecture in this region of Roman Switzerland. In the late 3rd century CE, the temple became a "stone quarry": parts of it were removed and reused elsewhere. That is why only the core of the temple podium has survived.
