The Hôtel de Sade is an archaeological museum: it was originally occupied by a vast thermal complex dating from the 4th century A.D., gradually revealed thanks to the various excavation campaigns conducted since the 1940s.

The Museum, located in a Renaissance hotel on the square opposite the Museum of the Alpilles Favier, contains archaeological furniture found at Glanum, an important statuary and a lapidary abundant, consisting of architectural elements, funerary steles and altars votive of time celto-ligure, Hellenistic and Roman. Its visit perfectly complements the discovery of the Gallo-Roman site. Entries are free the first Sunday of each month from October to April

In the heart of the old town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the Hôtel de Sade is a concentrate of history that has crossed the centuries from the very high Middle Ages to the Renaissance. It owes its name to the building erected in the 16th century by the family of the famous marquis.
Acquired by the state in the 20th century, it was from the 1950's onwards the repository for the excavations of the site of Glanum. Successive discoveries have continued to enrich the collections. This is how the current vocation of the building became the Center of Ancient Archaeology. The visit highlights the unsuspected riches of the ancient city and the path taken by archaeologists and scientists. A stroll through the distant but prestigious history of the Alpilles...
