Description

Since the antiquity, the Mazan area is particularly rich with archeological discoveries. These sarcophagus are amongst the most important relics of the Comtat Venaissin. They are probably the remains of Christian necropolis.
To the northeast of the village, there are 66 monolithic sarcophagi in a ring around the cemetery, dating from the 5th and 6th centuries. They are similar to those in the Alyscamps in Arles.
