Gallo-Roman villa of Montmaurin

The monument

The Gallo-Roman Villa of Montmaurin was discovered in 1946 by Georges Fouet. It was built in the middle of the First Century, and continued to develop until about 350, with modifications in the 3rd and 4th Centuries.

It is one of the largest Roman villas discovered in France: its buildings extended over 19 hectares. There were no fewer than 200 rooms, offering a considerable degree of comfort. They were decorated with marble or mosaics, they had glazed windows and there was under-floor heating and running water.
Archaeologists have revealed the remains of a vestibule, a temple, a nymphaeum, several courtyards and extensive living quarters.
