As anyone who has been to Rome will know, you will run into ancient remains absolutely everywhere in the old city centre. And not just the famous buildings still standing, but remains incorporated in later structures. This temple to the emperor Hadrian is an example of this.
The temple dedicated to the deified emperor was built by his successor Antoninus Pius around 145 A.D. But all that remains of it now is one side of the cella and the 11 columns flanking it (and the cella wall seems to have been stripped bare of its more fancy stone - the walls you can see are made of tufa, but it was likely clad with marble, which were later removed and repurposed - a common fate to ancient buildings in Rome). The architrave you can see on top is much less worn - for the simple reason that it is a much later reconstruction.
The temple remains were in the late 17th century incorporated into the Dogana di Terra, a papal palace, and quite a lot of Baroque elements were added. These were removed in the late 19th century. Today the building houses the Chamber of commerce.
