The city of Nimes has along history and has been continuously occupied since it was an ancient Roman city. The city's most stunning attraction is the 2,000 year old Arena of Nimes, which was originally built as an ancient bullfighting ring. This arena has been remarkably well-preserved and is quite an incredible sight.
Another extraordinary structure in the city is the Maison Carree, a beautifully restored ancient Roman temple with giant columns. Nearby you can admire the giant Clock Tower of Nimes.
Northwest of the historic city center is the elegant 17th century Jardin de la Fontaine (Gardens of the Fountain) park, which is built around the ruins of an ancient Roman bath house. Within the park you'll find the impressive ruins of the ancient Temple de Diane. Towering above this park is La Tour Magne, an ancient Roman watchtower which you can climb for amazing panoramic views overlooking Nimes.
