Palais Gallien

We no longer hear the roar of the wild beasts, nor the glorious cries of the gladiators. But the ruins of this amphitheater still speak of Burdigala (the name of Bordeaux in Roman times) from the time when the city was flourishing.

A monumental door still stands and some arches and wall departures are included in the gardens, the surrounding houses and even in the cellars!

On its wooden stands, which no longer exist, 20,000 spectators (double the population at the time) could attend the games.

In the 17th century, the Palais Gallien served as a refuge for gangsters and public girls… rumor made it the meeting place of witches before a mayor of the Revolution transformed it into a public quarry.

These Roman remains are located 550m from the Churchill Hotel.
