Oppidum de Saint-Blaise
Oppidum de Saint-Blaise, Archaeological site in Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts, France.
The archaeological site of Saint-Blaise spans 5.5 hectares on a rocky plateau between the Citis and Lavalduc lakes in southeastern France.
The Etruscan trading post established in the 7th century BCE on this Celto-Ligurian oppidum developed salt commerce and competed with Marseille.
The site contains eight archaeological layers discovered in 1935, revealing various structures from Neolithic settlements to medieval religious buildings.
The site opens daily from 10:00 to 17:00 between September and June, and from 8:30 to 15:00 in July and August.
The Hellenistic rampart from the 2nd century BCE stands above the early Christian enclosure, demonstrating multiple construction techniques from different periods.
