The city of Nimes has welcomed the inscription onto the Unesco World Heritage List of its iconic Maison Carrée, a Roman temple built in the first century CE. The addition to the list is expected to bring more visitors and increased revenue to the southern French city.
"We will be worthy of this decision,” said Nimes mayor, Jean-Paul Fournier, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where the 45th World Heritage Committee has been adding new sites since Saturday.
