The Jardins de la Fontaine are a public garden laid out between 1745 and 1755 by the military engineer Jacques-Philippe Mareschal around the spring where Nîmes began, on the site of a Roman sanctuary. Basins, balustrades and statues fill the formal lower garden, while wooded paths climb Mont Cavalier past the Temple of Diana to the Tour Magne.
The so-called Temple of Diana is a 1st-century Roman building beside the spring in the Jardins de la Fontaine, once part of a sanctuary for the cult of Augustus. Its plan suggests it was not a temple and it may have been a library. A medieval monastery kept its vaulted hall with wall niches standing, and it was uncovered in 1745.
