Sanctuaire de Mars Mullo, Gallo-Roman sanctuary in Allonnes, France

The religious complex stands on a hill overlooking the Sarthe River, featuring hexagonal structures and remains of ancient Celtic worship places.

The sanctuary remained active from the 5th century BC until the 4th century AD, serving as a major public religious center for the city of Le Mans.

Archaeological findings at the site reveal extensive information about religious practices of the Aulerci Cenomani, a Gallic tribe that inhabited the Sarthe region.

The archaeological site offers free admission to visitors and accommodates groups of 10 to 40 people for guided exploration of the ancient ruins.

The sanctuary was rediscovered in 1953 when a storm uprooted a tree, revealing architectural structures that led to extensive archaeological investigations.
