Forum Iulii, Ancient Roman settlement in Fréjus, France

The archaeological site contains remains of a Roman forum, an amphitheater, and an aqueduct spread across multiple excavation areas in Fréjus.

Julius Caesar established Forum Iulii in 49 BC as a naval base to control maritime routes between Italy and Spain after the port of Massalia supported Pompey.

The site reveals the organization of Roman urban life through its preserved structures, including a marketplace, public baths, and residential buildings from different periods.

Visitors can access the archaeological areas throughout the year, with guided tours available at the tourist office located near the Roman theater entrance.

The ancient harbor, now completely silted up, extended more than one kilometer inland from the current Mediterranean coastline, demonstrating substantial geological changes.
