Temple romain de Château-Bas, Roman archaeological temple in Vernègues, France.

The temple features a large fluted column with acanthus leaf capital and stands within a semicircular sacred enclosure near Château-Bas wine estate.

Built during the late 1st century BC, this Roman temple received classification as a historical monument in 1840 among the first French heritage sites.

The structure demonstrates Roman architectural techniques through its stone construction, Corinthian columns, and religious ceremonial layout within the sacred precinct.

Located east of Vernègues along the road to Cazan, visitors can examine the temple ruins and adjacent Saint-Cézaire chapel during daylight hours.

The temple walls incorporate into an existing Romanesque chapel, creating a physical connection between two distinct architectural periods.
