The Temple to Jutuma (temple A) (241 BC), one of four Roman temples on the square Largo di Torre Argentina, was rebuilt as a church, San Nicola de Calcarariis, in the 8th or 9th century.

Nicolaus de'Cesarini. The church was demolished between 1926 and 1929 so excavations could be carried out on the Roman monuments.
