BUCKWHEAT WALL
A well-hidden ancient vestige, located at the bottom of a building's parking lot, which belonged to a Gallo-Roman temple dedicated to Mercury.
This vestige is well hidden, at the bottom of a parking lot of a building, but is accessible to the curious. Known as the Saracen wall, it is the last elevated section of the Vasso Galate, a large temple rebuilt in the 2nd century, probably at the origin of the foundation of Augustonemetum, in other words, Clermont. The first writings go back to the VIth century with the History of the Franks of Gregory of Tours, where is described a building decorated with marble and mosaics with a lead cover. Today only a wall of about twenty meters and seven meters high remains.
