On the site you will find several markers indicating where the temple would have been. It links to the website (visit link) which shows a 3D view of the Temple of Empel.

"Most of the knowledge of the complex comes from archaeological investigations of the site between 1989 and 1991. But only minimal traces of the Roman buildings have been found: no more than the trenches in which the walls were founded, with some remains of rubble in the ground . The complex has been demolished in ancient times. Moreover, many archaeological traces disappeared when the site was leveled after the Second World War as part of the land consolidation. Only a few deeper traces such as the foundation remains, some wells and some pits have been preserved. However, especially with the metal detector, many Roman objects were found spread over a larger area: pieces of military equipment, coins, jewelry and the like. They give a good picture of what was sacrificed to the Roman gods."
