Estructura monumental, d'època romana, dedicada al Déu Jannus. L'edifici és troba en molt bon estat de conservació.

El podium, així com l'escalinata monumental d'accés s'han perdut, segurament per haver estat de marbre i poder-se aprofitar posteriorment per a construccions medievals (com la Catedral d'Autun). Amb tot, tres de les quatre parets s'han conservat en bon estat, construïdes amb maons (fet que impossiblitzava la seva reutilització).

Wanneer je in Autun bent moet je zeker deze indrukwekkende ruïne van de Tempel of Janus bezoeken. Vanaf de camping konden we dit enorme stenen gevaarte al zien liggen.

De ruïne zelf is vrij in z'n omgeving te bewonderen. Er is een parkeerplaats en 's-avonds wordt de tempel verlicht. Je moet wel wat hebben met oeroude bouwwerken en ruïnes om er wat mee te hebben, anders zie je alleen een grote stapel stenen. Zelf vond ik het wel bijzonder in de nabijheid van zoiets ouds te staan en daar m'n gedachten...

Impressive site, nice that you can just walk up to it and look inside. Wonderful nobody is charging for entrance. There could have been some more explanation in other languages. And there’s a geocache!
