Corte Sgarzerie Cryptoporticus Site Features

The vaulted gallery

A run of Roman barrel vaulting on heavy piers, first century BC, and the only substantial surviving piece of the Capitolium complex.

What is not there

The temple itself is entirely gone. This is a foundation that outlived the building it was built to hold up, which is the usual fate of Roman substructures.

Corte Sgarzerie above

The courtyard and the Loggia del Mangano, named after the teasing and pressing of cloth -- a medieval wool yard sitting on a Roman temple platform.

The forum connection

Piazza delle Erbe, a minute away, is the Roman forum this temple stood at the end of.
