Tucked away in southern France, the town of Lattara emerged as an ancient Etruscan port city harboring fascinating discoveries. Mentioned by many Roman authors, the site has been a point of archaeological interest since its discovery in 1963.
Today, the ruins of Lattara reside within the confines of the Musée Archéologique Henri Prades. The site preserves the history of a civilization that was mentioned by Roman authors and provides a window into the ancient world.
A strange discovery was made here as well - the remains of a gray whale, now an extinct species in the North Atlantic. These remains are kept as part of the site's archaeological record.
