Fanal d'Ébéon, Roman monument in Authon-Ébéon, France.

The Fanal d'Ébéon stands as a stone tower along the Roman road connecting the cities of Saintes and Bordeaux in western France.

Constructed during the Gallo-Roman period, this stone tower received classification as a historical monument in 1840, marking its importance in French heritage.

The monument shares architectural features with the Tower of Pirelonge in Saint-Romain-de-Benet, representing Roman construction techniques in the Charente-Maritime region.

Located near the village center, the monument remains accessible throughout the year and serves as a reference point for exploring other Roman remains.

Originally intended as a navigational aid for travelers, the structure derives its name from the Latin word 'fanum,' which translates to temple.
