Cularo, Archaeological site in central Grenoble, France.
The excavation features limestone fortification walls with thirty-nine watchtowers spanning 1,150 meters around the ancient settlement perimeter.
During the third century, Roman emperors Diocletian and Maximian ordered construction of defensive walls to protect Cularo from barbarian invasions.
The remains include two monumental gates with inscriptions highlighting the settlement's status as an administrative capital of the Roman Empire.
The Archaeological Museum of Grenoble presents extensive documentation and artifacts from excavations conducted at the Cularo settlement site.
The fortification walls incorporated materials from earlier structures, including funerary monuments, reaching thicknesses of four to five meters.
