Vestiges of the Gallo-Roman wall, Grenoble, Ancient Roman fortification remains in central Grenoble, France.
The remains of the Roman wall extend for 1150 meters with stone foundations and feature sections near Hector Berlioz street and Lafayette street.
The fortification wall was constructed between 286 and 293 BC during Emperor Diocletian's reign when Cularo gained status as an administrative capital.
The wall structure incorporated 39 watchtowers and two decorated gates that displayed inscriptions identifying the Roman emperors of the time.
Visitors can examine the wall remains throughout the year at no cost, with several sections integrated into the modern urban landscape.
The wall's original construction utilized limestone blocks, pebbles, and tuileau rubble, reaching nine meters in height with a protective moat connected to the Isère river.
