Brittany (/ˈbrɪtəni/; French: Bretagne [bʁətaɲ] Breton: Breizh, pronounced [bʁɛjs] or [bʁɛx];Gallo: Bertaèyn [bəʁtaɛɲ]) is a peninsula, historical country, and cultural area in the west of modern France, covering the western part of what was known as Armorica during the period of Roman occupation. It became an independent kingdom and then a duchy before being united with the Kingdom of France in 1532 as a province governed as a separate nation under the crown.
Brittany has also been referred to as Little Britain (as opposed to Great Britain, with which it shares an etymology).
Brittany is the site of some of the world’s oldest standing architecture, home to the Barnenez, the Tumulus Saint-Michel and others, which date to the early 5th millennium BC. Today, the historical province of Brittany is split among four French departments: Finistère in the west, Côtes-d’Armor in the north, Ille-et-Vilaine in the northeast and Morbihan in the south.
