Oppidum of Moulay, Celtic fortified settlement in Moulay, France
The archaeological site spreads across 135 hectares at the meeting point of Mayenne and Aron rivers, protected by granite cliffs and defensive walls.
Excavations between 2009 and 2011 revealed this settlement served as the capital of the Aulerques Diablintes tribe during the second and first centuries BCE.
The organized layout of residential areas and craft workshops within the settlement demonstrates advanced urban planning methods of Celtic communities.
Archaeological teams conduct regular guided tours of the site, allowing visitors to understand the architectural features and daily life of ancient Gaul.
The discovery of a second rampart in 2004 established this oppidum as one of the largest fortified Celtic settlements in France.
