Église Saint-Paul

Nîmes Cathedral is a neo-classical church with neo-Byzantine furnishings dating from the 17th century. The surviving medieval parts, especially in the western façade, such as the gable wall, date from a late Romanesque construction phase in the mid 12th century. During the Wars of Religion, Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Castor was severely damaged twice by the Huguenots in 1567 and 1621. Between 1877 and 1882, the architect Henri Révoil remodelled the interior of the neoclassical cathedral in the Romanesque-Byzantine style.

The Grand Temple of Nîmes was built as a Dominican convent church between 1714 and 1736. During the Revolution, the Dominicans abandoned it. The disused church was then rented by the Protestants and inaugurated by the pastor Paul Rabaut. In 1803, the church was officially assigned to Protestant worship and took the name of Grand Temple. In 1821, the temple organs were built.

The ancient abbey of Saint-Roman is located on an elevated site near the Rhône. The site was probably occupied by an eremitic community in the 5th century, which became Benedictine in the 7th century. The site became a centre of attraction for pilgrims thanks to the relics of Saint Roman and Saint Trophimus which were preserved there.
