Vertillum, Archaeological site in Vertault, France.
The archaeological complex extends over 25 hectares on a limestone promontory, featuring remains of ramparts, thermal baths, and religious structures.
The settlement evolved from a Gallic oppidum into a Gallo-Roman town during the third century BC, housing between 3,000 and 5,000 inhabitants.
The site reveals extensive metalworking activities, with numerous copper and bronze artifacts currently displayed at the Musée du Pays Châtillonnais.
The archaeological area, designated as a Historical Monument since 1875, maintains visible thermal bath structures and offers guided tours for visitors.
Excavations uncovered approximately 300 metal tools, forming one of the largest collections of ancient crafting implements found in France.
