Oppidum de Nages, Iron Age fortified settlement in Nages-et-Solorgues, France
The Oppidum de Nages stands on a hilltop at 160 meters altitude, featuring defensive walls, towers, residential buildings, and a temple complex from Celtic times.
The Volques Arécomiques tribe established this fortified settlement between 290 and 250 BCE, maintaining control until Roman forces arrived in the region.
The settlement demonstrates advanced urban planning with equal-sized houses arranged along streets, representing early Celtic architectural development in eastern Languedoc.
The archaeological site lies 15 kilometers west of Nîmes, accessible via the CD 40 road toward Sommières with a turn toward Nages-et-Solorgues village.
Archaeological excavations revealed a fanum temple from 70 BCE, which served religious purposes until its destruction by fire in the early first century CE.
