Pyramid of Couhard, Ancient Roman funerary monument in Autun, France.
The Pyramid of Couhard rises 33 meters high on a square base measuring 10.50 meters on each side near the ancient Roman necropolis.
Built during the first century AD, this structure originally featured white marble cladding and served as part of the Roman city of Augustodunum's cemetery.
The monument stands as evidence of Roman architectural influence in Gaul, marking the transition period when Autun replaced Bibracte as regional capital.
The pyramid is accessible through marked paths from central Autun, with guided tours available at the nearby Museum Rolin throughout the year.
Archaeological excavations in 1960 uncovered a lead tablet with Latin and Greek inscriptions at the base of this solid stone structure.
