This master's degree paper deals with the complex of temples, discovered on the area of Mariborska avenue. The complex, which was discovered during the preventive excavations between 2003 and 2004, stood on the left bank of the northern riverbed of Savinja. Its beginnings reach into the 1st century A.D., when depositing of ritual offerings oxbow of a minor river affluent started on the site of a late-celtic sacred pond. Two phases of deposits were discovered, dated in to the last two centuries B.C. and the late-tiberian period. Immediately after the abandonment of the sacred pond two gallo-roman temples with masonry foundations and an upper wooden structure (temple I and II) were built. Another temple (temple III) was built south of the first two and was probably contemporary to the first two, but smaller and built from worked stone. The third one shows through its construction features a design of a “hybrid” gallo-roman temple. At the end of third quarter of the first century B.C. the complex of temples was abandoned, and the area was dedicated to residential buildings.
