Roman temples and religious sites across Britain — classical temples, Romano-Celtic shrines and places of worship from the Roman period.
34 sites — individual pages for each
Religion in Roman Britain was characterised by syncretism — the blending of Roman and native British religious traditions. Classical temples in the Mediterranean style stood in major towns, while the distinctive Romano-Celtic temple type — a square or polygonal cella within a surrounding ambulatory — appeared across the countryside, often on pre-Roman sacred sites. The discovery of votive deposits, altars and curse tablets at these locations reveals the rich devotional life of the province.
All 34 temple sites recorded in Britain are listed below, each with its own dedicated page covering historical context, significance, nearby Roman sites, scheduled monuments and Domesday Book cross-references.
