HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Fréjus.
Fréjus retains substantial Roman remains, including its amphitheater, sections of the theater, the Porte d'Orée, and fragments of the aqueduct and city walls from the naval base of Forum Julii, though much of the fabric is ruined and partially restored. The monuments are under the care of France's Ministry of Culture and the municipality. They stand in open ground and are freely accessible, with the amphitheater also used for occasional events.
About Fréjus
Fréjus was founded as Forum Julii in the first century BCE, first as a market town under Julius Caesar and then as a naval colony for veterans settled by Augustus after Actium. It grew into a major Roman port with an amphitheater, aqueduct, and harbor. It served as a key naval base on the route between Italy and Gaul.
