Glanum archeological site in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France


Glanum was an oppidum, or fortified town, founded by a Celto-Ligurian people called the Salyens in the 6th century BCE. It was known for the healing power of its spring. It became a Roman city in Provence until its abandonment in 260 AD. It is located on the flanks of the Alpilles, a range of mountains in the Bouches-du-Rhône département, about 20 km (12 mi) south of the modern city of Avignon, and a kilometre south of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
