The building is really well preserved. While inside there is not much to do, except see a short film that explains the history of Nîmes and how things came to be. You can’t see much of the interior.Yet all things Roman have this grandiosity and charm about them that you do get drawn to them.
curiosity Stream: Ancient city, and former Roman colony founded by Augustus, Nîmes has preserved an exceptional number of monuments dating back to the Roman period including an amphitheater, and the temple called the Maison Carrée (Square House). Here is the origin story of Nemausus, the French Rome.

You will like this place due to historical link and short documentary that you'll see on a big screen inside this building or call it temple. Around you'll find many good restaurants and shops. A fine place to spend some time before to move other places.
The building is really well preserved, it’s unbelievable. Their recent renovations on the structure really paid off. Going inside is cool because they show a short film that explains the history of Nîmes and how things came to be, but besides that, you can’t see much of the interior.
nice place and turnaround
Definitely something to see in Nîmes. Going inside is, I dont think, all that necessary. It is just a movie telling about the foundation if the city. Interesting, but not a must-see. However, you should stop to admire this beautiful building from the outside.
