Tips
The historical heritage of this village is very old. Testimony of the Neolithic, of the seven menhirs identified in the town, five are still erected. This town is located on the Saint-Roman pass, which gives it strategic importance.
The name of the village comes from a military camp built by the Romans in the 1st century AD. The camp was then called Romanus de Codeyra. Aware of the strategic location of the Col de Saint-Roman, a castle was built in the Middle Ages instead of the Roman oppidum and the tower built by the Saracens.translated by
