Temple d'Auguste et de Livie

Fodor's Review:

Place du Palais is the site of the remains of the Temple d'Auguste et de Livie (Temple of Augustus and Livia), accessible via place St-Paul and rue Clémentine; they probably date in part from Vienne's earliest Roman settlements (1st century BC). The Corinthian columns were walled in during the 11th century, when the temple was used as a church; in 1833 Prosper Mérimée intervened to have the temple restored.
