Tips

Bourges Berry Tourisme

February 13, 2025

During the 3rd century, during the Late Empire, Avaricum changed its name once again to Biturigae. As the capital of the province of Aquitaine I and anxious to protect itself from barbarian invasions from the East, it undertook the construction of a protective rampart all around the city.
Built from massive blocks at its base, sometimes recovered from ancient monuments, as well as rubble and bricks on the height, this wall can reach an impressive thickness of 3 meters.
The enclosure is punctuated by 46 defensive towers, with a diameter of more than 10 meters. Stretching over 2.5 km in total, the rampart covers an area of approximately 25 hectares and has four main gates: the Porte de Lyon, the Porte Gordonia, the Porte Neuve and the Porte d’Auron.
