Oppidum Saint Blaise
Settlement
Presentation
The steep plateau accessible only from the south, therefore easy to defend, was inhabited from Neolithic until the end of the 14th century with a long interruption during the High Roman Empire (from the 1st to the beginning of the 4th century AD). The excavations undertaken by Henri Rolland in 1935 and continued after his death, have brought to light eight archaeological layers. A very beautiful Hellenistic rampart (2nd century BC) surmounted by the paleochristian enclosure, a Christian necropolis, the substructures of the Basilica of St. Vincent-d'Ugium ...
The St-Blaise Chapel is a 12th century Romanesque building, restored in the 13th century and whose facade was redone in 1608. Surrounded by medieval tombs, it is preceded by the substructures of an 11th century church. It occupies the site of the city of Castelveyre. The long wall, built in 1231 to protect it, today fences the excavation field where the ruins of Ugium overlap those of the ancient city.
Possibility of self-guided or guided tours.
Activities and entertainment supervised by a heritage mediator.
