Castrum de Dijon, Roman military fortification in Dijon, France.
The castrum extends over eleven hectares with walls reaching ten meters in height, incorporating thirty-three defensive towers along its perimeter.
Constructed between 275 and 300 CE, the fortification served as protection for Divio settlement against Germanic invasions during the Late Roman Empire.
The fortress walls contain repurposed Roman funerary monuments, with carved stones revealing information about ancient inhabitants' names and occupations.
Only one remaining tower stands at 15 rue Charrue, while additional sections of the ancient walls are visible in the Rude Museum.
The fortress foundation stones originate from a Roman cemetery, incorporating decorative elements and inscriptions from earlier burial monuments.
