The Oppidum of Bibracte (Burgundy, France), a city in the making in the 1st century BC

Located on Mount Beuvray, the oppidum is surrounded by a long rampart (5.2 km). The vast urban space (120 ha) is structured by a network of streets that serve residential areas and public spaces, which were regularly rebuilt. After the Gallic Wars (51 BC), the architecture reflects the growing influence of Rome. Excavation sites opened year after year reveal different aspects of the settlement.
