Burdigala, Roman archaeological site in Bordeaux, France
The ancient city of Burdigala stretched along the Garonne River, featuring paved streets, public baths, aqueducts, and an extensive canal system.
During Emperor Vespasian's rule, Burdigala developed into the capital of Roman Aquitaine, with the construction of major buildings including the Palais Gallien amphitheater.
The poet Ausonius documented the city's fertile landscape in his work 'Illustrious Cities', describing rivers flowing through hills covered with vineyards.
Modern archaeological excavations at Burdigala reveal evidence of Roman urban planning through a grid system centered on two main axes: cardo and decumanus.
Les Piliers de Tutelle, a temple structure with high columns, stood as a protective monument visible from great distances across the ancient city.
