Archeological site of Alba-la-Romaine
Archeological site of Alba-la-Romaine, Ancient Roman settlement in Alba-la-Romaine, France
The archaeological site spans 30 hectares with excavated structures including residential areas, public baths, a theater, and sophisticated hydraulic engineering systems.
The site transformed from a Celtic settlement into Alba Helviorum, serving as the capital of the Helvii people after their alliance with Rome in 121 BC.
The discovered sanctuary complex contains three temples, including one dedicated to emperor worship, demonstrating the fusion of Roman and local Celtic traditions.
Eight hectares of the archaeological area are open to visitors, featuring preserved foundations, architectural elements, and interpretive displays explaining daily Roman life.
The Roman theater, accommodating 3000 spectators, incorporates an engineering solution where a channeled stream flows beneath its stage structure.
