Ancient Roman circus of Vienne, Roman archaeological site in Vienne, France
The Roman circus extends 460 meters along the Rhone River, featuring a central racing track and structural remains from the second century.
Built during the late first century and expanded in the second century, this circus served as a primary entertainment venue for chariot races.
The central platform, known as spina, contained decorative elements including fountains, shrines, and sculptures that reflected Roman architectural preferences.
Located on Boulevard Fernand Point, the archaeological site remains open throughout the year with both guided and independent visit options.
The remaining pyramid structure at the center of the track carries medieval legends connecting it to Pontius Pilate's exile in Vienne.
