Gisacum

Gisacum is a Gallo-Roman archaeological site featuring ancient public buildings, temples, baths, and a theater spread across a substantial area. Today it includes an interpretation center and gardens that help visitors understand the layout and purpose of the structures.

The settlement began in the first century as a religious center for the Aulerci Eburovices tribe. It continued as an important place through the centuries before declining in late antiquity.

The site displays how inhabitants lived and worshipped here centuries ago, revealing their everyday routines through artifacts and reconstructed spaces. The interpretation center shares insights about religious practices and community life that shaped daily activity.

The site is open during the warmer months and offers free access to both the gardens and the center. Wear comfortable shoes and allow plenty of time to walk through the extensive grounds at your own pace.

The site is shaped in an unusual hexagonal pattern that stretches across the landscape, revealing ancient planning strategies. This geometric layout differs notably from typical Roman cities and reflects regional characteristics.
