CARRIÈRE DE MARBRE

An ancient marble quarry: one of the few in the world still in good condition, known for its "Roman breach" (in the township of Lez).

Votive altars and marble quarries bear witness to the Roman occupation of Saint-Béat (ex Passus-Lupi). The Roman quarry, one of the few in Europe still maintained in it’s original state, has what is known as "Roman breche" marble, where you can still see signs from the marble quarrying.
