Ancient Roman sites in Corseul

The Roman archaeological site of Corseul extends across 100 hectares, featuring temples, residential areas, and public buildings from the High Roman Empire period.

Originally named Fanum Martis, Corseul served as the capital of the Coriosolites Gallic tribe before becoming a central Roman settlement in 10 BC.

The Temple of Mars, discovered in the 19th century and classified as a French historical monument in 1840, represents Roman religious practices in ancient Gaul.

The site includes marked pathways through the ruins, informational panels, and a museum in the town hall displaying local archaeological discoveries.

A Jupiter column standing 2.07 meters tall represents one of the few remaining examples of such religious monuments in the Brittany region.
