Sights

There are Gallic ruins of a city wall, an amphitheater and a temple of a Gallic goddess. Its cathedral St. Front was built after 1120 AD and restored in the 19th century. A luxurious Roman villa, called the Domus of Vesunna, built around a garden courtyard surrounded by a colonnaded peristyle enriched with bold tectonic frescoing, has been handsomely protected in a modern glass-and-steel structure, designed by Jean Nouvel. It is considered as a fine example of archaeological museum-making (see link).
