FR La colonnade est située à proximité du Colostre : quatre colonnes romaines monolithes de granite gris, surmontées de chapiteaux corinthiens en marbre blanc, supportent encore une architrave richement sculptée, en calcaire. Ce choix de matériaux devait accentuer la polychromie des décors de marbres retrouvés brisés lors des fouilles conduites en 1963 qui avaient permis de dégager les soubassements du temple. Elles sont les derniers vestiges du portique d'un temple dédié à Apollon, élevé vers la fin du ier siècle ap. J.-C. Leur particularité est d’avoir été conservées en place depuis l’Antiquité, à l’entrée de la ville.

L'édifice a été classé au titre des monuments historiques en 1840.
IT Il colonnato si trova vicino al Colosseo: quattro colonne monolitiche romane di granito grigio, sormontate da capitelli corinzi in marmo bianco, sostengono ancora un architrave in pietra calcarea riccamente scolpito. Questa scelta dei materiali doveva accentuare la policromia delle decorazioni marmoree trovate spezzate durante gli scavi condotti nel 1963 che avevano liberato le fondamenta del tempio. Sono le ultime vestigia del portico di un tempio dedicato ad Apollo, costruito verso la fine del I secolo d.C. La loro particolarità è di essere stata mantenuta sul posto fin dall'antichità, all'ingresso della città.

L'edificio è stato classificato come monumento storico nel 1840.
EN The colonnade is located near the Colosseum: four monolithic Roman columns of gray granite, surmounted by Corinthian capitals in white marble, still support a richly carved limestone architrave. This choice of materials was to accentuate the polychromy of marble decorations found broken during excavations conducted in 1963 that had cleared the foundations of the temple. They are the last vestiges of the portico of a temple dedicated to Apollo, built towards the end of the first century AD. Their particularity is to have been kept in place since antiquity, at the entrance of the city.

The building was classified as a historical monument in 1840.
