Oppidum de Villejoubert, Iron Age settlement ruins in Saint-Denis-des-Murs, France.
The fortified settlement extends across 300 hectares at the meeting point of the Vienne and Maulde rivers, featuring defensive ramparts and enclosures.
During the first century BC, this settlement functioned as the principal town of the Lemovices, a Gallic tribe that controlled the Limousin region.
The site contains remnants of Celtic residential structures and a religious enclosure that demonstrate the social organization of Iron Age communities.
The archaeological site received official protection status through multiple classifications as a historic monument between 1981 and 1989.
The rectangular layout measures 4 kilometers in length and 600 meters in width, with defensive walls reaching heights of 18 meters in certain sections.
