Understanding the archaeological site of Ensérune

• The oppidum civilisation. Ensérune has remains dating from the 6th century BC to the 1st century AD. Lying at the intersection of various land and sea routes, the town was the centre of the region’s rapid commercial development. Ceramics unearthed by excavations carried out since 1915 reveal the progressive intermingling of Celto-Iberian populations and Mediterranean civilisations.
