Summary

[edit]
Description

The Maison Carrée, French for "square house" is an ancient Roman temple in Nîmes, southern France; it is one of the best preserved Roman temples to survive in the territory of the former Roman Empire.

The Maison Carrée inspired the neoclassical Église de la Madeleine in Paris, St. Marcellinus Church in Rogalin, Poland, and in the United States the Virginia State Capitol which was designed by Thomas Jefferson, who had a stucco model made of the Maison Carrée while he was minister to France in 1785 [Wikipedia.org]
