Castellaras de la Malle, Archaeological fortification in Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey, France.
This 0.5-hectare fortified enclosure stands at 1,200 meters altitude with walls reaching 5 meters high and 4 meters wide for defensive purposes.
The Iron Age settlement, classified as a historical monument in 1909, contains strategic entrances at northern and southern points measuring 3 meters in width.
Archaeological investigations revealed foundations of ancient dwellings, metallurgical artifacts, and evidence of copper and iron processing activities in the region.
The fortification remains open for exploration, offering direct access to ancient defensive architecture and archaeological remnants from the plateau of Saint-Vallier.
The structure incorporates stone blocks measuring one cubic meter, forming a semicircular barrier with an internal secondary enclosure for additional protection.
