The cella is fronted by 4 slim corinthian columns across the face with 3 columns on the side and stands on a raised podium. Inside the cella part of the central aedicule and four lateral niches can still be seen.

The whole sacrarium was faced with marble. One of the statues in the niches was of the Emperor Augustus.
The Temple of Fortuna Augusta lies at the corner of Via del Foro and Via della Fortuna Augusta. It was built during the Augustan period by the official Marcus Tullius.

On the lower of two sets of steps was the altar. Access to the upper set of steps was blocked by a gate.
