Castellane is a very old city located upstream of the Gorges du Verdon [1]. Castellane's name appeared in texts for the first time circa 965–977 as Petra Castellana [1]. Neolithic nomads came through the area; the oldest traces date back to 6000 BC [1]. Ligurian tribes occupied the territory [1]. The Suetrii or Suètres later created an oppidum named Ducelia [1]. They mined salt in the area and sold it [1].
