The Temple of the Sibyl is an ancient Roman temple located on the acropolis of Tivoli , near the famous temple of Vesta . Despite the attribution of the temple to the Sibyl Albunea the divinity to which it was dedicated is not well known. It was erected in the second century BC on an artificial substructure that extended the plan of the acropolis. This substructure is still visible along the ruins of the temple to head towards Villa Gregoriana . East-west orientation.
The temple was a tetrastyle pseudoperipter ; of the four columns on the main front there are two columns, without a capital . It was of Corinthian order , as evidenced by the abacus of one of the half-columns (in total 12, 5 along the sides and 2 in the back) leaning against the cell.
The entrance wall of the cell from the pronaos has been lost. Inside the temple, in fact, a church dedicated toSt. George , attested since 978 . The interior was decorated with stuccos and paintings, which were lost. Even the church's paintings, visible until the beginning of the 21st century , have disappeared.

Tivoli is situated on the Aniene river to the east of Rome, in the Monti Tiburtini hills where the climate is fresher than Rome's. For this reason, the area was popular from ancient times onwards with Rome's moneyed classes, who built summer retreats in the area. As the town was on a major trading route from Rome to the Abruzzi, Tivoli has always been an important settlement. Modern Tivoli has around 50,000 inhabitants, and spreads out far beyond the crumblingly picturesque historical centre. In the suburb of Bagni di Tivoli, on the plains below the town centre, it is still possible to bathe in natural thermal springs. The fourth century BC town wall is still visible, as are temples from the second century BC.
There is plenty to occupy the visitor in Tivoli for a day, even if they miss out one of the two famous villas. Travellers keen to see all the sights of the area should note that the Villa Adriana is actually a bus ride outside town; and they may find their day stretched to an uncomfortable length. Some visitors choose to stay in Tivoli, away from the bustle of Rome; if you are very keen on spending a long time at the monuments, or planning to travel onwards through Italy this may be an option worth considering.
The Renaissance Villa d'Este was built in the 1550s for Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, the son of Lucretia Borgia. Built over a Benedictine convent, the palace was intended for entertaining and contains lavishly frescoed reception rooms. The main attraction for visitors, however, is the breathtaking garden. Designed to impress the Cardinal's guests, the Villa d'Este's gardens are composed almost exclusively of water features. Fountains of every description dazzle the onlooker, from the grand 'Fountain of the Dragons' and 'Hundred Fountains', to a miniature watery reproduction of Rome. The centrepiece, the gigantic Water Organ Fountain, cascades down a huge drop into quiet, shady pools.
For those with an interest in antiquities, the Villa Adriana is worth a day to itself. The Emperor Hadrian conceived a countryside dwelling here that would by normal standards be considered a town. A gigantic complex with underground service passages big enough for vehicles (tantalising glimpses are still visible), the Villa incorporates lakes, fountains, libraries, baths, temples and gardens. The area covered is staggering, and highly confusing even when armed with a map; it's easy to imagine the emperor himself asking for directions.
Villa Gregoriana is an impressive park set in a gorge with a 100m waterfall. The site has recently reopened to the public after restoration by the FAI (Italy's equivalent of the English National Trust, with free entry to NT members). It's a pleasant and shady place to ramble. Views over the gorge can be enjoyed from the Ponte Gregoriano.
Temple of Vesta and Temple of the Sybil - the characteristic round Temple of Vesta occupies a panoramic position above the valley of the Villa Gregoriana, about ten minutes' walk from the Villa d'Este. Ponte Gregoriano - there was a devastating flood in the 1800s; afterwards the river was diverted and this bridge was built. Tivoli Tourist Information Office is in Piazza Garibaldi close to the main bus stop and the Villa d'Este. Even if it's closed, you may be able to pick up maps and information.

[Wikipedia] Temple of Vesta, Tivoli
The Temple of Vesta is a Roman temple in Tivoli, Italy, dating to the early 1st century BC. Its ruins sit on the acropolis of the city, overlooking the falls of the Aniene that are now included in the Villa Gregoriana.
It is not known for certain to whom the temple was dedicated, whether to Hercules, the protecting god of Tibur, or to Albunea, the Tiburtine Sibyl, or to Tiburnus, the eponymous hero of the city, or to Vesta herself, whose more familiar circular peripteral Temple of Vesta is to be seen in the Roman Forum. A rectangular temple stands nearby, equally difficult to attribute, often called the Temple of the Sibyl.
The name of the builder or restorer of the Temple of Vesta is Lucius Gellius, memorialized in the inscription on the architrave. The peripteral temple in a variant of the Corinthian order surrounds its circular cella, which is raised on a high brick podium clad in blocks of travertine: the cella has a door and two windows. The ambulacrum that surrounds the cella had eighteen Corinthian columns (ten remain standing).
The temple's capitals has two rows of Acanthus (ornament) and its abacus is decorated with oversize fleuron (architectural) in the form of hibiscus flowers with pronounced spiral pistils. The column flutes have flat tops. The frieze exhibits fruit swag (motif) suspended between bucrania. Above each swag is a rosette (design). The cornice does not have modillions.
The comparatively good condition of the temple is owing to its Christianization as a church, Santa Maria della Rotonda. The Christian accretions have already disappeared in the 16th century.
Careful measured drawings of the 'Temple of Vesta were published by Antoine Desgodetz (1682) who gave elevation and plan as well as carefully rendered details of the carved capitals and the frieze. in the following century both Giuseppe Vasi and Giovanni Battista Piranesi made etchings and engravings of the Temple of Vesta.

02. Temple of Vesta, Tivoli
The Temple of Vesta at Tivoli demonstrates the impact that Greek prototypes had on Roman temple architecture in the late Republic. Built in around 80 B.C., it follows the Greek round plan and uses the third of the canonical Greek orders—the Corinthian. While the Greeks used the Corinthian on occasion, the Romans selected it as their order of choice because it was ornamental and looked equally good from all angles. That the Temple of Vesta has a curved cella wall made of concrete and faced with opus incertum, a single staircase, and a façade orientation designate it as a Roman temple.

Acropoli di Tivoli, Tempio di Vesta e Tiburno (o della Sibilla)
Nel centro storico di Tivoli, alla fine del percorso naturalistico di Villa Gregoriana, sorgono due templi la cui attribuzione è purtroppo confusa. Si tratta del Tempio di
Vesta (o della Sibilla) e del tempio di Tiburno (o ancora della Sibilla). Narra la legenda che a Tivoli nelle grotte sotto l'acropoli vivesse Albunea, la decima Sibilla. Famosa per la sua bellezza secondo la mitologia cattolica avrebbe vaticinato l'avvento di Cristo. Secondo un altro mito sul letto del fiume Aniene, ancora sotto l'Acropoli, sarebbe stata rinvenuta una statua raffigurante la Sibilla insieme al suo libro sibillino e poi le due reliquie sarebbero state conservate in uno dei due templi.

PARIS WALK | Parc des Buttes-Chaumont incl. Temple Sybille | France
A first-person perspective Paris walk tour of the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont.
See all the sights as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of Paris, featuring Parc des Buttes-Chaumont (Buttes-Chaumont Park). The tour begins at the most eastern end of the park by Botzaris Metro, then travels through the park, crossing over the suspension bridge, and climbing the path up to the Temple of the Sybil, where the tour concludes.
Sights seen along the tour include sloping lawns with visitors enjoying the sunshine, a 63-meter long suspension bridge, many varieties of indigenous and exotic trees (including several cedars of Lebanon), and the Temple de la Sibylle (Temple of the Sybil inspired by the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli, Italy) perched atop a cliff fifty metres above the waters of the man-made lake.

Foro Romano, Tempio dei Càstori - the three columns of the Temple of Castor and Pollux (manortiz)
Temple of Castor and Pollux
In the Forum, near the Temple of Vesta, stands what is left of the temple erected in honor of Castor and Pollux, the twin sons of Jupiter.Legend has it that during the the battle of Lake Regillus two youths on horseback, far excelling mortals in beauty of form and features, appeared to Postumius, the Roman leader, and to those about him, and charged at the head of the Roman cavalry. They wounded all they met with their spears, and drove the Latins before them, putting them to flight, taking their camp, and ending the battle. A little later, according to legend, two youths appeared in the same manner in the Roman Forum at sunset. They were attired in military uniform, were very tall and beautiful and of the same age, and looked as if they had just come from battle. Even their horses were tired from the battle. They dismounted, and washed in the fountain near the temple of Vesta. In answer to the many questions of people who were standing about, eager to know whether the strangers had brought news from the camp, they announced the Roman victory and related the particulars of the battle. The story goes that after they had left the Forum they were never seen again, despite efforts of the magistrate of the city.
The next day the persons entrusted with the care of the commonwealth received letters sent by the Dictator in which he gave an account of the apparition of god-like youths, and other details in connection with the battle. They then concluded that since the self-same figures had appeared in both places, they must be divinities or semi-divine beings, probably Castor and Pollux themselves.
Three massive columns remain from the Temple of Castor and Pollux. They are over forty-eight feet high The temple had been, rebuilt between 7 B.C. and 6 A.D. The statues of Castor and Pollux can be seen at the top of the stairs of the Capitoline Hill.
