This Temple is one of the best preserved and most beautiful structures on Curetes Street. It was built in the 2nd century A.D and was dedicated to the Emperor Hadrian, who came to visit the city from Athens.
Its tympanum bears an interesting frieze that may depict Medusa.
Corinthian columns on the facade support a triangular arched frieze, highly decorative in character, which contains a relief of Tyche, goddess of victory. A vaulted roof covers the colonnaded portico. Four statue bases front the building.

 Hadrian's Temple by guellLeave a Comment Directions: Street of the Curettes

This Corinthian style architecture is the Temple of Hadrian located in Curetes street. It is small in structure compare to other edifices but beautiful and well preserved. The temple was built by Quintilius around 118 AD to dedicate Emperor Hadrian and renovated in fifth century.
From the frontal view they are four Corinthian columns and inside the temple on top of the archway could be Medusa holding ornaments of acanthus leaves and her snake’s hair. Do not look at her you might turn to stone. On her opposite on the wall are other mythological figures.
Next to the temple there’s stairs which lead to the Scholastica baths which was created in the fourth century. Address: Curete Street

Temple of Hadrian is the most luxurious of all the monuments that line Curetes Street. It was built before 138 AD.
On the photos, the front of the temple, with four columns, is seen from Curetes Street. The lintels are richly decorated with vines, flowers and pearls. The two middle columns are topped by a carved arch. On top of the arch, stands the face of Tykhè, a local goddess (photo 3). Leave a Comment

On the Tympan, on top of the entrance into the naos, stands the bust of a human figure, arms widely open. It looks like Medusa, with her hair made of snakes. It is framed with acanthus leaves and stylized flowers. Leave a Comment
