Villa antique de Sainte-Nitasse

About

The ancient villa of Sainte-Nitasse is a Roman villa built in the commune of Auxerre, in the French department of Yonne, in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. The villa is probably occupied from the 1st to the 4th century before a medieval settlement settled on the site, but only in the 13th century. Its area (4,000 m2) and architecture testify to the wealth of its owners. The site, following the excavations that took place from May to October 2025, will host a road development.
