The Venus and Roman temples are considered the largest in ancient Rome. Located on the eastern edge of the ancient Roman square and between the Colosseum, Mount Villian was built for the goddess Venus and the eternal Rome. The architect was Emperor Hadrian. The temple was built in 121 AD, and the official completion ceremony was held in 135 AD. It was completed in 141 AD by Antony Pius. The temple was damaged by fire in 307 AD and later restored by Emperor Maximcentius. A severe earthquake in the early ninth century destroyed the temple. Around 850, Pope Leo IV ordered a new church to be built on the ruins of the temple. In 1612, the church was rebuilt and renamed the Church of St. Francesca Romana. Modern temples have been extensively restored to open for public visits. From the Colosseum observation deck overlooking Venus and the Roman temples, the church bell tower is erected behind the temple, and there are 18 white pillars on the south and north side of the temple, all of which are1.8 meters wide, making the temple look very spectacular.

The temple is considered the largest in ancient Rome, adjacent to the Colosseum. Designed by Emperor Hadrian, it is a Roman devotion to the goddess Venus and dates back to the second century AD. Also used as a Good Friday ceremony for the Pope, there is a burning cross.
