Can anyone identify this place in Rome?
I could not remember the name of the place. Here is the image.

It appears to be what is commonly known as the Temple of Vesta but is now known to be the Temple of Hercules. It's across the street from Santa Maria in Cosmedin where the Bocca della Verita is.

Thanks.

Is the rectangular building on the right part of the temple?

They are two different temples. The circular one is the so-called Temple of Vesta; the rectangular one is the Temple of Fortuna Virilis.

Thanks all! I had the same question since I have video of my sister risking her life to cross the busy street to take pictures of these temples.
