The Temple of Sulis Minerva at Bath was a Roman temple built in the late 1st century CE at the site of the sacred hot springs in Bath, United Kingdom. Dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva—a synthesis of the Celtic deity Sulis and the Roman goddess Minerva—the temple stood as a testament to the religious significance of Bath's thermal waters in the Roman period. Constructed of stone in the classical Roman architectural style, the temple has since been demolished, though its remains form an important archaeological site that continues to illuminate the religious and cultural practices of Roman Britain.
