Roman Temple sights in Nîmes

  1. A

    Maison Carrée

    The Maison Carrée is a remarkably well preserved rectangular Roman temple, constructed around AD 5 to honour Emperor Augustus’ two adopted sons. Within, a 22-minute 3D film, Héros de Nîmes, is screened every half-hour. An epic piece of flummery subtitled in English and French, it calls up characters from the city’s history.
