The temple of la maison carree is one of the best preserved Roman temples in the whole of the areas which were covered by the Roman Empire. This is due to the fact that it was turned into a Christian church, saving it from plunder. It was later put to other uses and it became a museum in the 19th century. The temple provides a good insight of what Roman temples were like.

What is the difference between Greek and the Roman architecture?

the differences between greek and roman architecture go very, very far beyond a simple answer here on wikianswers. having said that, one noticeable different deals with enclosures. in a greek temple, all 4 sides are open air - nothing but exposed columns (ex: parthenon in athens, Greece). roman architecture took this basic form but gave it directionality. that is - the building has a clear "front" which is the short side with open air columns. the other sides also have exposed columns, but with walls between the columns (ex: maison carree in nimes, France). the examples in this answer only deal with the classical temple shaped building. there was much more to both greek and roman architecture that is much too broad to address here. a great reference for further review might be applicable chapters from tractenberg's tome on architectural history. you will find issues such as material differences (roman brick), use of arch to produce extremely large column free spans, urban design differences. ampitheater differences, and so on.
