Origin and history
The Sarrazinière is a Roman archaeological site located in the hamlet of Monthion, in the commune of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, Isère. These ruins, dating from the first century C.E., bear witness to the Roman occupation in the region after the conquest of the Allobroges in 121 B.C. The site, integrated into a private property, was exceptionally open to the public at the European Heritage Days in 2016.
The settlement of the region was densified under Roman influence, with the creation of many agricultural estates attached to Gallo-Roman villas. This historical context explains the presence of this vestige, which illustrates the rural and economic organization of the period. The site was classified as historic monuments on 5 January 1950, highlighting its heritage importance.
The site is located at 5061, Chemin de Monthion, in an area of satisfactory geographic accuracy. Although located on a private property, its classification makes it a protected part of the local heritage, linked to the agricultural and Roman history of the region.
