Gergovie Monument

Gergovie, France

The Gergovie Monument (monument de Gergovie) or Memorial to Vercingetorix (monument commémoratif à Vercingétorix) is a monument by the Clermontois architect Jean Teillard built in 1900 on the eastern edge of the Gergovie plateau, a few kilometers south of Clermont-Ferrand in the French departement of Puy-de-Dôme in Auvergne. It commemorates Vercingetorix's victory over Julius Caesar on this site in 52 BC. The monument was registered as a French Monument historique in March 2018 (the oppidum was registered in 2013) and in November of the same year, the monument was classified, included in a much larger classification of a major part of the Gergovie plateau.
