Alesia
...located on the top of a hill, in a very lofty position, so that it did not appear likely to be taken, except by a regular siege. Two rivers, on two different sides, washed the foot of the hill. Before the town lay a plain about three miles in length; on every other side hills at a moderate distance, and of an equal degree of height, surrounded the town.The site of the final conflict against Vercingetorix and his Gallic rebels against Julius Caesar. The city now lies in ruins, haunted and foreboding to any who would travel there.
