Oppidum de Constantine, Ancient fortified settlement in Lançon-Provence, France
The oppidum occupies a vast 6-hectare limestone plateau on the southern edge of La Fare mountain range, overlooking the Berre lagoon.
The indigenous oppidum was established between late 2nd and 1st century BC, abandoned around 20-10 BC, then reoccupied in late 4th century AD.
Archaeological excavations revealed a sanctuary with monumental architecture and a male torso statue, indicating advanced urban development comparable to ancient Glanum.
The archaeological site, located within the private Calissanne estate, received heritage protection status as a listed historic monument in November 1926.
The site features a 65-meter deep natural shaft and sits at the intersection of two distinct relief systems with jagged rocks and softer hills.
