Sanctuary of Cybèle, Roman archaeological site in 5th arrondissement of Lyon, France.
The archaeological remains include stone foundations, inscriptions, and altars spread across multiple levels of an ancient Roman complex near the theater.
Archaeological excavations between 1965 and 1978 revealed structures dating from 20 BCE, initially thought to be a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Cybele.
The site contains evidence of both religious ceremonies and commercial activities, featuring remnants of shops and streets from the early Roman period.
Visitors can access the archaeological site throughout the year and examine the preserved Roman architecture through designated pathways with information panels.
A water reservoir system connected to an aqueduct supplied ancient Lugdunum through decantation basins built within the western section of the complex.
