There isn't much left to see of the Forum of Augusta Raurica. The remaining ruins were tragically removed during the modern era. In their place has been erected a wooden facsimile of the entrance to the temple.

In front of the facsimile is a reconstruction of the altar which is thought to have stood here. Only fragments of it were actually found.
There are better preserved ruins of the ancient city close by.
