One of several Roman temples you can see at Largo di Torre Argenina in central Rome.
This Roman (now known as temple A) was built in the 3rd century B.C. - probably by Gaius Lutatius Catulus after his victory over the Carthaginians in 241 B.C. It was dedicated to Juturna or Juno Curritis. All the temples in the area burnt down in 80 A.D., but were rebuilt, and the temples were renovated in the 3rd century A.D. too.
This temple was later turned into a Christian church: San Nicola dei Cesarini.
The church was built in the 9th century, reusing the old temple. It was later heavily rebuilt in the 17th century, but that was torn down in the end of the 1920s and parts of the original church was then revealed - which can be seen here.
