The Temples are locations throughout the world built by Those Who Came Before, in order to prevent the repeat of the catastrophe that had ensured their extinction.

History

According to Minerva in Assassin's Creed II, the Temples were built by the members of her race "who knew to turn away from war" — presumably those who did not fight or did not want to fight in the war between the humans and Those Who Came Before . The reason for the building of these temples was an unknown catastrophe that significantly damaged the Earth and killed off most of both species. Minerva tasked Desmond Miles (speaking to him through his ancestor, Ezio Auditore) with locating the Temples in Modern Times and averting another cataclysm.

In AC Brotherhood it is presumed that the Vault underneath the Santa Maria Aracoeli is in fact The Temple of Juno . “Supposedly the Santa Maria Aracoeli was built on top of the ‘Temple of Juno’" as stated by Shaun Hastings when he enters the church alongside Lucy , Desmond and Rebecca .

Trivia

• The Vault, which could be considered a Temple, was located both by Ezio Auditore and the other Renaissance Assassins, as well as Rodrigo Borgia in Assassin's Creed II.

• Both Minerva and Juno are found to link to the 8 Monteriggioni Statuettes in Assassin's Creed 2 , in which Ezio has to collect them throughout Monteriggioni . If so there might be 8 Vaults all together. One for each statuette - Minerva, Juno, Mars, Apollo, Venus, Neptune, Diana and Jupiter.
• As Minerva was seen in the first Vault and Juno was seen in the second Vault, we can speculate that certain Roman Gods can be found in particular Vaults.
