Remains of the forum of Bagacum, capital of the Nervii founded under Augustus: more than two and a half hectares of squares, a temple and cryptoporticoes, built between the 1st and late 2nd century. Uncovered after the bombing of 1940, the site is paired with a museum that holds a hoard of three hundred and seventy Roman bronzes.
