After being conquered by Caesar, Alesia became a Gallo-Roman town. It featured a town centre with monumental buildings such as temples and a forum and there was also a theatre. Here there are the remains of the Gallo Roman town.

An archaeological site that can be visited in conjunction with the Alesia Museum.
Car parking in front of the exhibition center (opens at 10 am) from which you can also visit the nearby monument of Vercingetorix.

In the year 52 before the beginning of our Christian era, Julius Caesar's army defeated the Gallic army in ALESIA under their leader VERCINGETORIX, who had succeeded in uniting the various Gallic tribes in battle. Many people, mostly young people, will be somewhat familiar with this battle - even without any further knowledge of French history - because: The internationally successful comic series ASTERIX by the author duo Goscinny & Uderzo introduces its readers to it. However, in these stories it is apparently not possible to identify the place of fate with a specific location: “I don't know any Alesia. Nobody knows where this Alesia is," claims Majestix, head of the small Gallic village that successfully resisted the Roman occupiers - thanks to the legendary magic potion of their druid Miraculix - for example in the volume "Asterix and the Avernian Shield".
