Alba Pompeia was delimited by a boundary wall with 8-side polygon shape, five of which are still partially visible somewhere into the town.

This is part of the explanation placed near the ruins

“The Temple

Massive masonry structures brought to light in Piazza Pertinace and below the Mediaeval Palazzo Marro are the remains of a large Roman temple dedicated to an unknown divinity in the sacred area of Alba Pompeia during the reign of Augustus (BC 27 to AD 14) and abandoned in the 5th century.  …….

The masonry is of the opus incertum mixtum type formed of split cobbles on the outside alternating with double courses of bricks.”

In the year 1238 the Moors were chased away from Mertola by the crusaders and the mosque was converted into a church,  but the original Moorish structures and elements still exist.  This is the only remaining mosque from the Moorish period in Portugal. The castle was also Moorish, but destroyed by the crusaders. They built the new, present castle.

The bridge with 7  arches may originate from the Roman period, but historians are not quite sure when the first bridge was built. The present construction dates from the 17th Century.
Unfortunately it was low tide.

I'm unsure what this is precisely, but the possibility of it being a lararium intrigues me. It is to be found on the Philipappos hill in Athens.
