Minerva's Shrine is a shrine to the Roman goddess Minerva in Edgar's Field, Handbridge, Chester, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. The shrine dates from the early 2nd century and is carved into the face of a sandstone quarry. It is the only monument of its kind in Western Europe that remains in its original location. It is protected by a 19th-century stone surround with a hood, which was refurbished in the late 20th century. The carving has weathered over the centuries and has also been damaged by human activity. Next to the shrine is an opening into the rock face which is possibly a natural fissure that has been enlarged and which is known as Edgar's Cave.

  • Minerva's Shrine is a shrine to the Roman goddess Minerva in Edgar's Field, Handbridge, Chester, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. The shrine dates from the early 2nd century and is carved into the face of a sandstone quarry. It is the only monument of its kind in Western Europe that remains in its original location. It is protected by a 19th-century stone surround with a hood, which was refurbished in the late 20th century. The carving has weathered over the centuries and has also been damaged by human activity. Next to the shrine is an opening into the rock face which is possibly a natural fissure that has been enlarged and which is known as Edgar's Cave. The shrine stands beside the route of the old main Roman road into the fortress of Deva from the south. Minerva was the Roman goddess of war, knowledge, and craftsmanship. She is often depicted with her attributes of helmet, shield, breastplate, and spear, but in this instance she is shown in a simplified form, standing in a representation of a temple. The Roman quarry, together with Edgar's Field and the image of Minerva, is a Scheduled Monument. A cast of the shrine is kept in the Grosvenor Museum, in Chester. (en)
  • O Templo ou Santuário de Minerva é um santuário dedicado a deusa romana Minerva situado em Edgar's Field ("Campo de Edgar"), , Céstria, Inglaterra. Está registrado na Lista de Patrimônio Nacional da Inglaterra como um monumento classificado de designado Grau I. O santuário remonta ao começo do século II e está esculpido na face de uma pedreira de arenito. É o único monumento desse tipo na Europa Ocidental que permaneceu em sua localização original. Está protegido por uma pedra do século XIX cercada com uma toldo e foi remodelado no final do século XX. A escultura tem resistido ao longo dos séculos e também tem sido danificada pela ação humana. Próximo ao santuário há uma abertura na face da rocha, possivelmente uma fissura natural, que foi aumentada e que é conhecida como "Caverna de Edgard". O santuário localiza-se ao lado da rota da antiga estrada romana que dirigia-se para a fortaleza de Deva Vitoriosa ao sul. Minerva era a deusa romana da guerra, conhecido e perícia.
