The Maison Carrée (Maison:'House',Carré:'rectangle') still stands as you see it here, although it was originally painted in rich colours.
It survives intact because of it's conversion to a church, which saved it from the destruction of temples that ensued when Christianity became the Formal religion of the Roman empire. |
