Museum devoted to Mediolanum Santonum, capital of the Santones and one of the great cities of Roman Gaul. It houses one of the richest lapidary collections in France, made up of carved blocks from dismantled public monuments that were later reused in the late-antique rampart, complemented by objects of everyday Gallo-Roman life.
