Summary[edit]

Description

Autun (Saône-et-Loire)

Porte d'Arroux (Ier siècle av. J.C.).

L'enceinte antique d'Autun était percée de quatre portes monumentales, dont trois substistent.

La porte d'Arroux, au nord; la porte Saint-André, à l'est; la porte Saint-Andoche, dont il ne subsiste qu'une tour, à l'ouest; la porte de Rome, qui a disparu, au sud.

Les quatre portes sont bâties sur le même modèle : deux grandes arches jumelles, pour le passage des chariots, encadrées de deux petites arches pour celui des piétons. Ces arches sont encadrées de deux tours en fer à cheval. Les arches sont surmontées d’une galerie. Les décors de chacune des portes sont par contre différents. Des indices suggèrent qu'il y avait des accès secondaires.

La porte d'Arroux était sur la Via Agrippa qui reliait Saintes (Mediolanum Santonum) à Lyon (Lugdunum) en passant par Clermont-Ferrand (Augustonemetum) et Limoges ( Augustoritum).

A l'extrémité nord de la principale rue de la ville -cardo maximus), la porte d'Arroux ouvrait en direction de Sens.

Construite en "grand appareil" les grandes baies centrales étaient fermées par des herses et les petites baies par de simples battants.

Au Moyen-Âge, on avait appliqué une petite chapelle contre le pilier central. Chapelle dédiée à la Vierge et qui sera démolie en 1780.
