Villards-d’Heria

sanctuary · 30 BC – 2100 AD

A sanctuary of the Sequani at modern Villards-d'Heria in France. It is archaeologically represented by a two-part architectural complex comprising (1) north of the modern town the monumental "Pont des Arches", which supported a temple over a watercourse that supplied a large spa, and (2) at the nearby Lac-d'Antre, which supplied the majority of the water for the spa complex and also hosted additional temples along its shoreline. Plans in Vurpillot 2016 and Nouvel 2019.
