    It was formerly the entrance to the city of Glanum. The Jules Mausoleum was erected by the Julii (one of the major Roman families), in honour of their father and grandfather. It is particularly well preserved. It has a rectangular base with four sculpted fasciae, it is surmounted by a triumphal arch, on top of which ukulele have a small round temple with columns and a pyramidal roof; this temple houses the effigies of the two people to whom this exceptional monument is dedicated. The Triumphal Arch was restored in the 18th century, when its roof was replaced with slate stone. It is adorned with reliefs illustrating Caesar's conquest of the Gauls. However, the fruit and foliage, symbols of abundance, suggest the benefits of pax romana.

    I stopped off here quickly whilst doing the Van Gogh walk, I didn't have time to look at the main ruins (which I regret). I just had time to take in the two structures near the carpark. Very interesting, I loved the Bad Relief panels and the close access you could get to these Roman ruins

    7 euros for parking for the whole day, was not possible to pay per hour. There is a cafe inside, but not possible to enter without a valid ticket. Photos are made in a "free" area.

    A little hard to read the signs as they have been weathered down and have become a little hard to decipher, however this is a magnificent site which I highly recommend to anybody who likes history even a little. It's along the Via Domitia which is the oldest road in France and it is impeccably preserved.

    Beautiful Roman remnants. We came here as part of a half day tour from Avignon. At first glance, it just seems like old landmarks. But there are some interesting bits of history connected to them. If you don't have a tour guide, I'm sure you could just google or Wikipedia it to get some basic details. Popular site though. Lots of tourists and groups of school children on the premises in mid-May 2018.

    Some bedrock Roman ruins, a triumphal arch and a tower, free to see but parking costs money, walk over the roof to see the ruins of glanum!

    Amazing that structures can stand for two thousand years and suffer minimal damage.

    No free parking, so park across the street at Van Gogh's for free and walk over, very close. The overall impression of this place is not any different from a Google image search I thought, since the whole site is exposed in an exterior setting. Might be worth it if you could spend time meandering, on a nice sunny day, or if particularly attached to the history here.

    Walking distance from the town centre. Interesting and worth the walk.

  • 5/5 Chris K. 11 months ago on Google
    A short walk from the old part of town. Two absolutely stunning examples of Roman monuments. It is hard to believe how well presented they are. They are free to visit, too. A great addition to your visit to Glanum.

    The only signboards are in French. Just 2 roman ruins in the middle of nowhere. It's nearby the other attraction so it's quite convenient to visit.

👍👍 Superbe point de vue sur Saint-Rémy-de-Provence à travers le Rocher des Deux Trous. Pour y accéder, il faut se garer au parking de la Caume puis suivre le sentier goudronné. C'est donc dans un premier temps facile d'accès. Cela vous donnera l'occasion d'avoir de nombreux panoramas sur les Alpilles....
