The Kelten museum in Manching provides a window to the spectacular excavations of the Celtic city of Manching and the Roman fortress of Oberstimm. As a branch museum of the Archäologische Staatssammlung München, it presents outstanding finds of the Iron Age and the Roman imperial period. The modern museum built in 2006 is situated directly at the original historical site, which can be explored on an archaeological trail.
References:Saint-Émilion is a picturesque medieval village renowned for its well-preserved architecture and vineyards. The town and surrounding vineyards was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, owing to its long, living history of wine-making, Romanesque churches and ruins stretching all along steep and narrow streets.
An oppidum was built on the hill overlooking the present-day city in Gaulish times, before the regions was annexed by Augustus in 27 BC. The Romans planted vineyards in what was to become Saint-Émilion as early as the 2nd century. In the 4th century, the Latin poet Ausonius lauded the fruit of the bountiful vine.
Because the region was located on the route of the Camino de Santiago, many monasteries and churches were built during the Middle Ages, and in 1199, while under Plantagenet rule, the town was granted full rights.
