The "Plateau des Antiques" is in the foothills of the Alpilles near
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence at a point where the Aurelian Way from Arles to Milan
cut through. The Roman city of Glanum, built here on this plateau, was
destroyed by a barbarian invasion in the 3rd. century AD.
All that remains are the ruins we see today, with the exception of two
magnificently preserved monuments : The mausoleum and the Roman arch.
