Oppidum d'Altimurium, Ancient archaeological site in Murviel-lès-Montpellier, France.
The Oppidum d'Altimurium extends over 20 hectares on a hilltop, featuring a 2-kilometer wall that protected the ancient settlement.
Established in the 2nd century BCE, this fortified settlement developed into an important urban center before its abandonment in the 3rd century CE.
The site contains a monumental square measuring 75 meters in length, with rooms against the hillside and two large porches on each side.
A museum in Murviel-lès-Montpellier displays artifacts discovered during excavations, allowing visitors to understand the site's archaeological significance.
The settlement was divided between an upper town on the hilltop and a lower town on the slopes, connected by a Roman monumental area.
