Perhaps the most famous Roman discovery made in London during the 20th century, this temple to the mystery god Mithras came to light in 1954, when construction workers uncovered it on Walbrook, a street in the City of London. Also known as the Temple of Mithras, Walbrook, it is a mithraeum, the name for a temple dedicated to Mithras.
Rather than halting the building work, the entire site was relocated so construction could continue. Today it is an archaeological site and museum, and it is a Grade II listed building.
