Gallo-Roman temple in Halatte forest, Ancient temple ruins in Halatte forest, France.

The temple foundations reveal a square central room surrounded by a peripheral gallery, following traditional Gallo-Roman architectural design patterns.

Constructed in the first century AD on a Celtic worship site, the temple served as a healing sanctuary until its abandonment in the fifth century.

Archaeological excavations between 1996 and 1999 uncovered over one thousand Roman bronze coins, jewelry, and animal bones used as offerings.

The temple remains, reaching heights between 0.5 and 1 meter, are located in Ognon municipality and received monument status in September 2007.

Foundation deposits contained a severed head, Celtic coins, and a sandstone megalith, indicating the transformation from Celtic to Roman practices.
