Some places to visit

  • Mithraeum of Sidon

    The Mithraeum of Sidon may have escaped destruction because the Mithras worshippers walled up the entrance to the underground sanctuary.

     
  • Mithräum von Wiesloch

    The first members of the Wiesloch Mithraeum may have been veterans from Ladenburg and Heidelberg.

     
  • Mitreo de Cabra

    The Mithraeum of Cabra is located in the Villa del Mitra, which owes its name to the discovery in 1951 of a Mithras tauroctonus in the remains of the Roman villa.

     
  • Mitreo di Angera

    The Mithraeum of Angera (or Wolf's Den as this cave is popularly called) is the only temple devoted to Mithras known to date in Lombardy.
