Vindunum, Archaeological site near Le Mans, France
The archaeological remains at Vindunum span across two hectares of land, revealing ancient temple structures, roads, and galleries from the Roman period.
From the first to third centuries AD, Vindunum functioned as a religious center where multiple temples were constructed in succession due to ground instability.
The excavated artifacts include Gallic, Celtic, and Roman coins, jewelry, pottery, and tools, indicating the intersection of different civilizations at this location.
Located 4 kilometers north of Le Mans in Neuville-sur-Sarthe, the site displays numbered stones and mapped paths that guide visitors through ancient structures.
The site features an unusual circular fanum measuring 12 meters in diameter, which differs from traditional Gallo-Roman temple architecture.
