Sanctuary of Hercules Victor

Sanctuary of Hercules Victor

The Sanctuary of Hercules Victor is one of the largest sacred complexes of Roman architecture of the republican period (built starting from the 2nd century BC). It is a scenographic structure of imposing dimensions, built on a terrace overlooking the Aniene river, along an ancient transhumance route that would later become the Via Tiburtina. The street was incorporated into the architectural ensemble as a monumental gallery (via tecta). 

The Sanctuary of Ercole Vincitore was made up of three main bodies : the theater , which exploited the natural slope of the land, a large square bordered by arcades and the actual temple . Following the decline of the place of worship, the presence of water pipes favored the establishment of mills and foundries, as well as the first Italian hydroelectric plant and, finally, a paper mill. The Sanctuary of Ercole Vincitore today represents the most important site of double archeology, classical and industrial.
