Origin and history

The land belonging to Mr. Pitard, located in front of the amphitheatre of Saintes, is a space classified Historic Monument since 13 March 1932. This protection specifically targets the vicinity of the Roman amphitheatre, highlighting the archaeological and urban importance of the site. The classification by decree reflects the desire to preserve the ancient remains and their immediate environment in this city marked by its Gallo-Roman past.

Saintes, in Charente-Maritime (Department 17), is a town rich in ancient heritage, thanks to its Roman monuments as amphitheatre. The protection of adjacent lands, such as Mr. Pitard's, is part of the overall conservation logic of historic sites. These measures limit constructions or modifications that may alter the understanding or value of remains. The terrain, identified under cadastral reference C 685p, illustrates this safeguard policy.

Available data from sources such as Monumentum and the Merimée database indicate an approximate location at 9001 Avenue des Arènes. Although geographical accuracy is considered "a priori satisfactory" (note of 6/10), no additional information is provided on the current use of the land or its accessibility to the public. The protection of 1932 remains the only historical event documented for this site.
