Default Archaeologists Claim They’ve Uncovered an Ancient Temple to Hercules Visited by Julius Caesar. Skeptics Aren’t So Sure

Archaeologists Claim They’ve Uncovered an Ancient Temple to Hercules Visited by Julius Caesar. Skeptics Aren’t So Sure

Some say the long-lost site is probably miles away.

January 6, 2022

Archaeologists near Cádiz, Spain, believe they have located the site of the lost Temple of Hercules Gaditanus, an ancient pilgrimage destination visited by the likes of Roman dictator Julius Caesar and Carthaginian general Hannibal.

The elusive site has been something of “a holy grail” for archaeologists, according to El País, which first reported the potential discovery.

The reason experts have failed to uncover it? The temple has been underwater, submerged by the Caño de Sancti Petri, a shallow channel off the Bay of Cádiz between San Fernando and Chiclana.
