The Maison Carrée is an exceptionally well-preserved ancient Roman temple located in Nîmes, France, and is widely regarded as a prime example of Vitruvian Roman architecture. It was dedicated to the grandsons of Emperor Augustus, Gaius and Lucius Caesar. The temple's excellent state of preservation is largely due to its continuous use throughout history, serving variously as a Christian church, a town hall, a stable, and finally a museum.
