Titelberg

Titelberg is a Celtic oppidum and national monument on a plateau near Pétange, covering about 50 hectares with visible fortifications and ruins of buildings from Celtic and Roman periods. The site sits at about 390 meters elevation and is bounded by slopes descending toward the Chiers River.

The settlement was founded around 300 BCE and served as capital of the Treveri people for about 700 years with continuous habitation. Roman conquest brought changes to its role and organization.

The settlement displays evidence of organized Celtic craftsmanship and trade, with workshops for metalwork and coin production scattered throughout the site.

The site is open for visiting, with guided tours available to help understand the fortifications and building layouts. Visitors should expect uneven terrain and significant distances as the area is quite large.

A striking feature is a deep ditch separating residential zones from public spaces, revealing thoughtful Celtic city design. This clear boundary between private and communal areas has been carefully mapped by archaeologists.
