Vorgium, Archaeological site in Carhaix-Plouguer, France.

The Vorgium interpretation center spans 240 square meters and features a garden displaying restored Roman residential structures and street segments.

The settlement reached its peak in the third century CE, covering 130 hectares as the largest urban center in the Breton peninsula.

The site presents eight interactive stations that detail Roman conquest, daily life, games, and water management through digital reconstructions.

Visitors can explore the archaeological garden with digital tablets that display virtual reconstructions of the ancient Roman neighborhood from 1800 years ago.

The Romans constructed a 13-kilometer aqueduct system to bring water from a distant source to supply the ancient city of Vorgium.
