Temple of Claudius, Colchester

Temple of Claudius, Colchester

The Temple of Claudius (Templum Claudii) or Temple of the Deified Claudius (Templum Divi Claudii) built in Camulodunum (Roman Colchester) around AD 44.

Colchester Castle is built on the remains of its podium or foundations, which the castle's Norman builders assumed was solid ground, and the castle overall was built out of tiles and stone from this and the ruins of other Roman buildings in the town. These foundations have since been dug out and can be viewed today on a castle tour.
