EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of La Maison Carree in Nimes, France, as it stood in the mid-19th century. The Roman temple, built around 16-15 BC, is a remarkable testament to ancient architecture and engineering. Its name, which translates to 'square house,' reflects its perfect rectangular shape and symmetry. La Maison Carree was originally dedicated to the Roman god Jupiter and served as a temple for over 500 years. However, its use changed over time, and it was later converted into a warehouse during the Middle Ages. Despite this, the temple continued to stand proudly amidst the bustling city of Nimes. By the 1850s, La Maison Carree had regained its status as a cultural icon and tourist attraction. The temple's intricate columns, Corinthian capitals, and ornate friezes drew visitors from near and far, who marveled at the ancient ruins and the rich history they represented. This photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when La Maison Carree was a revered symbol of Roman engineering and a source of inspiration for generations to come. The temple's enduring appeal is evident in its continued popularity as a must-see destination for travelers and history enthusiasts today.
