London Mithraeum London Mithraeum No Data

Description


Originally discovered in the 1950s the temple to Mithras is one of only a handful of Roman temples in the UK where it's know who the temple was dedicated to. Following the 1950s excavations the temple was relocated to street level and left out in the open for nearly half a century. When the site was redeveloped in the early 21st century it was decided to return the temple to it's original location, 7m below ground, now underneath the UK headquarters for Bloomberg. Access to the site is free and includes a 5 minute immersive sound and light experience to give you an idea of what the temple would have been like.
