Dive into Ancient Roman Nîmes, its monumental architecture, a recreation of the living quarters of a Roman villa, and artefacts like statues, mosaics, everyday and religious objects. You'll also see displays of back when the Gauls would worship the god Nemausus at the foot of the sacred source, all the way through medieval times and the spread of the Christian faith.
- Nîmes Amphitheatre
Nîmes, often dubbed the French Rome, is home to one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world. Built 20 years after the Colosseum in 70 AD, its perfectly preserved external facade certainly packs a punch. Similarly to Rome’s stellar – and slightly larger – monument, Nimes Amphitheatre was once the site of gladiator flights and public spectacles.
