One of the oldest buildings in the city is the "Square House" (Maison Carree), which was founded by order of Emperor Augustus. He dedicated the church to his grandchildren. Over the course of its long history, the building has changed its purpose several times and has miraculously survived to this day. In the 4th century, the temple was converted into a church, and during the French Revolution it was used as a stable. In 1823, it was decided to convert the building into a museum dedicated to ancient Roman art.→
