The Temple of Juno Caelestis, which was built on the outskirts of the city, was described in the 17th century and excavated in the 1890s.
Significant restoration work was undertaken between 1904 and 1914, and new studies were carried out between 1999 and 2002.

The temple is dedicated to Heavenly Juno (Juno Caelestis), the successor of the Punic god Tanit.
Its well-preserved temenos is demarcated by a wall, a large section of which has been very well preserved.
The court is only partially tiled and has two symmetrical doors.
A portico with 25 bays runs along the circular section of the temenos.
The portico is topped with a frieze depicting the construction of the temple.

The temple in the strict sense of the word stands on a high podium that can be accessed via a series of eleven steps.
It is a Corinthian hexastyle peripteros.
The pediment features a dedication to Alexander Severus.
The cella has been completely lost.

The temple, which was erected between AD 222 and 235, was paid for by a certain Q. Gabinius Rufus Felix, who donated inter alia two silver statues of Juno Caelestis that cost 35,000 sestertii.

The temenos, which is 52 m (171 ft) in diameter, is reminiscent of a crescent moon, the symbol of Juno Caelestis.
