The city of Barcelona was built during the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Piazza San Haumei is the birthplace of Barcelona and still plays the role of Barcelona's political center, with the Catalan government building and the Barcelona government building on both sides of the square. The site of the Augustus Temple is located on the edge of St. Haumei Square, the highest point of the Dabel Hill, the highest point of the ancient Roman city. The temple is no longer there, leaving only four huge Corinthian pillars for visitors to visit.
