Tintignac

The archaeological site contains monumental structures including a temple with double cella and a theater situated between two hills at 500 meters elevation.

The sanctuary evolved from a Gallic religious center to a Gallo-Roman complex, reaching its peak in the 3rd century before being burned in the 4th century.

Excavations revealed 500 metal fragments, including decorated helmets, weapons, and carnyx war trumpets, indicating strong military and religious practices of the Lemovices tribe.

Visitors can access the site from June to September through guided tours organized by Tintignac Association, located 250 meters from the A89 highway exit.

The site yielded a collection of Celtic bronze artifacts in 2004, including a bird-shaped helmet from the 4th to 2nd century BC.
