The Temple of Diana was an ancient sanctuary in Nemi, erected in 184 BC and dedicated to the goddess Diana.^[1] It was a famous place of pilgrimage in the Italian peninsula. The temple complex covered an area of 45000 square meters.

The temple was abandoned at some point in the late Roman Empire period. Portions of its marbles and decorations were removed. The area of the temple was gradually covered by forest and generally left undisturbed for centuries. Amateur archaeological excavations of the site began in the 1600s.
