The Temple is situated west of the aqueduct and was first excavated by the Albanian Institute of Archaeology in the 1980’s. At this time it was interpreted as a bath house or a cistern dating to the early imperial period. In 2004 it was further excavated because it differed from that of the Roman grid pattern followed by most of the early Roman buildings built to the west of the aqueduct. The building was raised above surrounding structures on a large podium, 1.60 m high, constructed of bricks on a stone plinth. The principal feature was a western door, over 3m wide, with traces of a substantial threshold and door imposts. To the west of this door were the remains of the sloping foundation of a staircase. Meanwhile to the east were the traces of a rectangular chamber originally veneered with marble. This chamber would form the cella with a wide doorway giving onto a limestone paved pronaos, fronted by a set of steps.
The fragments of marble heads, torsos and sculptures that date back to the 3rd century AD, found in previous years suggest that the temple may have been a mausoleum. In the overall plan of the temple the length is twice the width.
