Southern France is dotted throughout with the remnants of Roman cities. Nîmes, known in Roman times as Nemausus, is one of the most notable. It is home to the best-preserved Roman amphitheater in the world, the only fully-preserved temple from Antiquity, the Maison Carrée, and a pre-Roman tower, the Tour Magne.
