Since the 17th century, it has been popularly known as the Temple of Diana, although we currently know that it was consecrated to Rome and the Emperor.

Today, the Roman Temple of Diana is one of Merida's most majestic ancient buildings and is freely accessible to visitors to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The structure is not easy to walk past as it continues to dominate the modern landscape. You can also get up close to the time-ravaged pillars, guarded by a low railing that doesn't obstruct the view.
