SITE ANTIQUE

Lugdunum Convenae, the capital of Aquitaine, was founded in the 1st century BC and covered an area of 36 hectares, with an estimated population of between 10,000 and 15,000. The oldest remains found on the site date back to the time of Emperor Augustus (27-14 BC).
Only part of the ancient heritage is still visible today, including the thermal baths, the market and the theatre.

Departmental archaeological museum.
The Musée archéologique départemental de Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges was set up in 1985 as a conservation facility linked to the site of Lugdunum, the ancient capital of the city of the Convènes. As well as its study and conservation work, the Musée archéologique départemental team welcomes researchers, both professional and amateur, and continues its programme of temporary exhibitions.
