Musée du Biterrois
A local history museum housed in a converted old barracks, showing Roman-era archaeology, the history of the Canal du Midi, and the wine industry.
The museum occupies the 18th-century Saint-Jacques Barracks. Its collection includes Roman statues found around Béziers, the Trésor de Béziers silver hoard, pottery, and medieval artifacts. Exhibits also cover the construction of the Canal du Midi and viticulture in Languedoc. Admission costs a few euros, and the museum is often closed on Mondays. The terrace in front overlooks the Orb River, and the museum suits visitors interested in local history who can set aside an hour.
