There were many temples to Dea Fortuna in antiquity.
- Fortuna Primigenia was the great mother goddess of the city Praeneste. Trajan founded a special temple in honour of Fortuna as the all-pervading power of the world. Here an annual sacrifice was offered to her on New Year's Day.
- Remains of the Aedes Fortunae Huiusce Diei (Temple of the Fortune of This Day) may be seen in the Largo di Torre Argentina archeological area in Roma.
