Chiragan Roman villa, Archaeological site in Martres-Tolosane, France

The Chiragan Roman villa extends over 16 hectares along the Garonne River, containing 80 buildings and 200 rooms across residential and agricultural sections.

The villa evolved through three construction phases from Augustus to the Antonine period before its destruction during fifth-century barbarian invasions.

Three hundred marble statues, including emperor portraits and mythological figures, were discovered at the site and transferred to the Saint-Raymond Museum in Toulouse.

The archaeological remains lie beneath current farmland, limiting excavation possibilities and research of the extensive Roman settlement structures.

The villa complex incorporated an aqueduct system and workshops, managing an estate of over 1000 hectares with both residential and agricultural functions.
