30000 Nîmes
(Gard)
Inspired by the temples of Apollo and Mars Ultor in Rome, the Maison Carrée has extremely harmonious proportions. It is the only temple of the antique world that has survived whole and is 26 metres long, 15 metres wide and 17 m high. The ceiling of the pronaos dates from the beginning of the nineteenth century and the present door was fitted in 1824.
The Maison Carrée is exceptionally well-conserved because it has been used without interruption since the eleventh century, serving in turn as chamber of the consuls, stables, apartment and church. It was the headquarters of the first prefecture of the Gard department after the Revolution, turned into the departmental archives and then inaugurated the creation of museums in Nîmes in 1823.
