Oppidum Mont Vully, Celtic fortification at Mont Vully, Switzerland
The oppidum stretches across 50 hectares on Mont Vully, featuring defensive walls with two gatehouses and towers built using dry stone and oak posts.
The Helvetii constructed this fortified settlement between 124 and 58 BCE, until they left the region during their attempted migration to Gaul.
Archaeological excavations revealed ceramics, fibulae, beads, and coins, including a rare coin die used for minting Celtic currency at the site.
Visitors can explore the reconstructed southern corner of the gatehouse while following mountain biking trails that connect to the archaeological site.
The rampart walls incorporated a variant of Murus Gallicus construction technique, reaching an estimated height of five meters in their original state.
