Oppidum du Fossé des Pandours, Celtic archaeological site at Col de Saverne, France
The fortified settlement extends over 170 hectares across three summits, featuring a 600-meter defensive wall and multiple internal ramparts near Saverne.
The oppidum was established at the end of the 2nd century BCE and developed until the beginning of the Common Era as a major Celtic settlement.
The site contains numerous artifacts from the La Tène period, including bronze seals, fibulae, and iron objects that indicate Celtic craftsmanship.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1949 and 1993 revealed Gallo-Roman tombs and a road relay station from the Roman period.
The defensive wall incorporates murus gallicus construction techniques with dressed stone facing, making it the largest oppidum in Alsace.
