Sanctuaire gallo-romain de Vieille-Cour

About

The Gallo-Roman shrine of Vieille-Court is an ancient cultural complex that forms part of an ancient secondary agglomeration, located in the French commune of Mauves-sur-Loire, in the Loire-Atlantique department. The site was already occupied in pre-Roman times, but it was towards the end of the first century C.E. that a masonry temple was built, which accompanied a building attached to the poorly defined role.

The whole is redesigned in the second half of the 2nd century with the construction, at the temple level, of a peristyle with columns. In the second half of the fourth century the monument, which is perhaps no longer a temple, seems to be the victim of partial collapse and/or fire.
