Maison Carrée

Frommer's Review

The pride of Nîmes, this is one of the most beautiful, and certainly one of the best preserved, Roman temples of Europe. It was built during the reign of Caesar Augustus. Set on a raised platform with tall Corinthian columns, it inspired Thomas Jefferson as well as the builders of La Madeleine in Paris. A changing roster of cultural and art exhibits is presented.
