The columns and ceiling at the southeast corner of the Walhalla memorial.
The Walhalla memorial is a hall of fame that honours distinguished people "of the German tongue".
The idea for such a memorial is from (at that time) Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1807. The building in neoclassicistic style, modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, was finally begun in 1830 and completed in 1842.

I don't have any info on this building,but it's one of those strikingly detailed structures I saw on my way to Union Square Park in Manhattan on 14th St.If you want to find the faces on the façade just pinch zoom your device.The two obvious ones are near the bottom, then there are four more.What I find most interesting on it however are the Greek-styled column images between the windows on each floor.There are three types.I don't know the columns for the center windows.The bottom row of windows have Corinthian columns on them and the the top row have Ionic columns on them.Interesting patterned lines going across also. That top one looks like a zipper when zoomed in.Enjoy.

View of Forum Romanum with the temple of Saturn and the temple of Vespasian and Titus.
The cult of the god Saturn in Rome is quite old - the temple remains are in comparison quite new (as an ancient Roman temple goes). The first temple in this spot was built around 497 B.C. These columns on the other hand dates to a temple building from 360-380 A.D. when the previous building had been destroyed by a fire. Much of this temple is built with parts from older buildings - but the columns are made in the style of late Antiquity, in white Thasian marble.
The two columns (it's actually three, but the third one is hidden from view) with a bit frieze remaining is the temple of emperor Vespasian and his son Titus. It was an expression of the Roman imperial cult - the temple was started by Titus after the death of his father, and then after Titus' death it was continued by his brother Domitian and finished some time around 87 A.D.
