The archaeological site of Argentomagus, a Gallo-Roman city dating from 2AD in the village of Saint-Marcel, takes visitors on a journey back through time to Antiquity. The remains include a monumental fountain, Virou theatre, temples and the house of Quintus Sergius Macrinus.
An archaeological museum housed in a modern building has a fine collection of prehistoric and Gallo-Roman objects found during excavations at the site and in the Creuse valley, as well as models, reconstructions, films and audiovisual exhibits. Under the museum lies an archaeological crypt that contains a Gallo-Roman domestic altar that was unique in Gaul.
You can also visit the Roman garden with its collection of aromatic, medicinal, dye-producing and decorative plants.
