Gratianopolis, Archaeological site in Grenoble, France
The Roman settlement established at the confluence of mountain ranges included fortified walls and structured urban planning near the Isère River.
Originally named Cularo by Celtic Gauls, the settlement was renamed Gratianopolis in 381 CE to honor Roman Emperor Gratian.
The first bishop of Gratianopolis, Domnin, initiated the construction of an episcopal district and a baptistery, marking religious changes in the region.
The remains of ancient Roman fortifications are integrated into current buildings, with sections visible through archaeological excavations.
The 4th-century baptistery foundations lie beneath the Notre Dame cathedral museum, preserving evidence of early Christian practices.
