History
In 1989, the mayor of Amiens proposed that a new facility replace the aging Palais des Sport, Amiens' 60-year-old sporting facility. While the foundation was being laid, in 1993, four Gallo-Roman houses from the first or second century AD were discovered on site and excavated; several tons of historical materials were brought from them to the collection of Amiens.
