Ganuenta

In Roman times, the town of Ganuenta lay north of where the village of Colijnsplaat is now, a location now covered by the water of the Oosterschelde. It was an important centre for trade. Nearby, there was a temple dedicated to the Celtic sea goddess Nehalennia. A replica of this temple was officially opened in Colijnsplaat in August 2005Template:Ref. (See external links.)
