LILLEBONNE

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 686 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LILLEBONNE , a town of France in the department of Seine-Inferieure, 32 M. N. of the Seine and 24 M. E. of
Havre
  by the Western railway. Pop. (1906) 5370. It lies in the valley of the
Bolbec
  at the foot of wooded hills. The church of Notre-Dame, partly modern, preserves a
Gothic
  portal of the 16th century and a graceful tower of the same period. The- park contains a fine cylindrical donjon and other remains of a castle founded by William the Conqueror and rebuilt in the 13th century. The
principal
 
industries
  are
cotton
 -spinning and the manufacture of calico and candles.
Lillebonne under the Romans, Juliobona, was the
capital
  of the Caletes, or inhabitants of the Pays de Caux, in the time of Caesar, by whom it was destroyed. It was afterwards rebuilt by
Augustus
 , and before it was again ruined by the barbarian invasions it had become an important centre whence Roman roads branched out in all directions. The remains of ancient baths and of a theatre capable of holding 3000 persons have been brought to light. Many Roman and Gallic relics, notably a bronze statue of a woman and two fine mosaics, have been found and transported to the museum at Rouen. In the middle ages the fortifications of the town were constructed out of materials supplied by the theatre. The town recovered some of its old importance under William the Conqueror.
