Vestiges gallo-romains d'Andernos-les-Bains

The Gallo-Roman vestiges are the remains of a Roman facility with a central building ending in an apse and supported by buttresses. A circular wall encloses the entire site around this structure.

Roman villa substructures were discovered in 1903 near Saint-Eloi Church, revealing important evidence of Roman settlement in the Gironde region. These archaeological findings document a significant Roman presence on the Atlantic coast.

The archaeological site presents architectural elements typical of Roman construction methods, using small squared stones bound with lime mortar.

The site is accessible year-round without entrance fees, allowing visitors free access to the location. The local tourism office offers guided tours to learn more about the Roman structures and their significance.

The remains show the foundations of a structure that looks like a basilica with side chambers flanking the main nave. This suggests the site may have served a religious or public function in Roman Andernos.
