Temple de Mercure Parc Naturel Régional Des Volcans D'Auvergne

Temple de Mercure Parc Naturel Régional Des Volcans D'Auvergne

An enigmatic imprint of the distant past stands atop the summit of Puy de Dôme: a 1st-century Gallo-Roman temple undergoing gradual restoration. Constructed here to allow it to be visible all the way from Augustonemetum (now Clermont-Ferrand), the temple lay in ruins until its rediscovery in the 19th century. There's a visitors centre that explains the region's Roman history. The visitors centre follows the opening hours of the Panoramique des Dômes.
