About Gisacum Archaeological Site
Gisacum is an exceptional Gallo-Roman sanctuary town founded over 2,000 years ago, featuring one of the most unique urban plans in the entire Roman world. The site showcases beautifully preserved ruins of monumental public thermal baths from the 2nd-3rd centuries AD, with visible remains of the apodyterium (round changing room), frigidarium, tepidarium, and caldarium. Visitors explore an interpretation center with archaeological exhibits and an outdoor archaeological garden walking among the ancient ruins.
Gisacum is the ONLY city in the entire Roman world with a hexagonal urban layout. The hexagonal ring road was 5.6 km long with a diameter of 1.8 km, and all residential areas were pushed to the perimeter, leaving the center completely empty except for monumental religious buildings - a radical urban planning concept never replicated elsewhere in the Empire.
