Fanum d'Aron

[1][3] Some artifacts and architectural elements from the site are kept on display at the Aurillac Museum of Art and Archeology,[4] along with a model reconstruction of the fanum.

The fanum is a circular chamber (cella) surrounded by a sixteen-sided polygonal ambulatory or gallery, which opens onto the Cère and Jordanne River valleys.

The angles of the polygon are marked by the bases of fluted columns (eight of which are found in-place) bearing acanthus-leafed Corinthian capitals.

There are also vestiges of a partially exposed square enclosure with paved ground southeast of the fanum, whose sides are 29 meters (95 ft) long.

This uncommon round cella with polygonal ambulatory plan seems to be more typical of Western Gaul than elsewhere, as it is also found in examples at Saint-Gervais (Vendée) and Chassenon (Charente).
