Roman City Augustodunum-Porte d’Arroux

The Porte d'Arroux in Autun, a French city in the Saône-et-Loire department in the Burgundy region, is a city gate of the Roman city of Augustodunum. The road led towards Sens and to the Via Agrippa.

The six-kilometer-long Roman city wall had four city gates; the Porte d'Arroux and the Porte Saint-André are still preserved. The Porte d'Arroux was located at the northern end of the Cardo.

The two-story gate from the 3rd century has harmonious proportions. The arches are decorated with fluted pilasters and Corinthian capitals.
