"Situated at the top of a hill looking down on the city, this Roman fortification is one of the most iconic attractions in Nîmes. Despite clearly being a Roman site, beneath the tower are the foundations of a Gallic tower too.
Although the Tour Magne has lost the top level over the centuries, it is still impressive at its height of around 32 metres. It is assumed that the tower had some role in defence, potentially as a watchtower or signal tower, as well as intimidating potential threats due to its impressive size. Rather than soldiers, today its mainly surrounded by school trips, and there are information signs and audio guides available for it too. "
