Fanum d'Aron, Roman temple ruins in Aurillac, France
The temple complex contains a circular chamber surrounded by a polygonal walkway with sixteen sides and a perimeter wall.
Excavations between 1977 and 1978 revealed evidence of continuous use from the first to third centuries of the Common Era.
Recovered artifacts, including glass items, coins, column capitals, and ceramics, demonstrate the fusion of Roman and Celtic traditions.
The archaeological site stands within a small municipal garden at 639 meters altitude, between residential buildings and an industrial zone.
The structure features fluted columns with acanthus-leafed Corinthian capitals and terracotta antefixes decorating the roof elements.
