Darioritum, Archaeological site near Vannes, France.

The excavated remains of Darioritum extend across several hectares, revealing ancient Roman military structures and civilian quarters along the coastline.

The site was established between 270 and 290 CE as part of the Saxon Shore defensive network to protect against maritime invasions.

Excavated artifacts include Roman coins, pottery, and tools that demonstrate the integration of Roman and local Gallic traditions in daily life.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through guided tours that depart from the main entrance, with detailed information panels in multiple languages.

Researchers have identified specific architectural elements that indicate Darioritum maintained direct communication routes with other Saxon Shore fortifications.
