  • An elephant-hunters’ camp dating back 400,000 years, where the first traces of domestication of fire in the world have been discovered.

  • If you are interested in prehistory, the site of Terra Amata is not to be missed under any pretext!
    400 000 years ago, men lived here. They hunted, gathered in camp, mastered fire, rubbed shoulders with ancient elephants, rhinoceroses...
    Equipped with a modern scenography and an interactive course, this archaeological site and the museum in situ constitute unique educational tools. An exceptional highlight of these remote times of history.
