The Ancient Mouressip Bastion on the Hilltop

Bare-bones peek into the relics of a hilltop fortress, standing guard over the landscape for two thousand years, on the Serre Mouressipe in Saint-Côme-et-Maruéjols, France.

The Oppidum de Mouressip, huddled on the slopes of Serre Mouressipe, 171 meters above the ground, west of the town of Saint-Côme-et-Maruéjols, Gard, Occitanie, France, is a historical archaeological site. Dating back to the Hellenistic era, it boasts the remnants of a hilltop fortress. The tour areas, both the Hellenistic fortification and the adjacent living quarters, have been classified as historical monuments, protected by the French government.
