RUSCINO

Between Perpignan and the sea, on a promontory of hills dominating the lower valley of the Tet, rose in Antiquity a city which preceded Perpignan: Ruscino, which is at the origin of the name of Roussillon.
In turn capital of the Sordes, Latin city, military relay during the Muslim conquest, this oppidum unveils the remains of a forum, of a Roman and protohistoric settlement.
