Vix palace, Celtic archaeological site at Mont Lassois, Burgundy, France
The Vix Palace spans 35 meters in length and 21.5 meters in width, featuring wooden columns and red-coated clay walls at Mont Lassois.
Excavations in 2002 revealed a Celtic megaron from the late 6th century BCE, indicating advanced architectural capabilities in pre-Roman Gaul.
The palace structure combined local Celtic building methods with Mediterranean architectural elements, including a Greek-style semicircular colonnade.
Located near Chatillon-sur-Seine, the site controlled trade routes between Britain and Italy, particularly for tin transportation during the Iron Age.
The building contained a grand entrance portal measuring 6 meters wide and 4 meters high, with oak shingle roofing and distinctive red-painted walls.
