topography
The area of the 7.03 km 2 municipality covers a section of the Combe de Savoie , the Isère valley between Albertville and Montmélian . It extends over the approximately two kilometers wide alluvial plain on both sides of the river and includes an approximately 100 meter high rise in the north, which belongs to the foothills of the Bauges , a pre-alpine limestone massif. The settlement area has grown together with that of Albertville and, in addition to the center of Gilly, consists of the parts La Rachy , Le Nant des Martins and La Montaz . The agricultural use of the valley level makes up 45.6% of the municipal area, while the remaining natural areas are mainly overgrown with trees (10.5%). The built-up area adds up to 19.4%, that of gardens and communal green spaces 11.3%.
history
In Roman times , the road connection between Milan and Vienne crossed the municipality, where the remains of a Roman villa and other buildings were uncovered. Gilly owned a church ( Ecclesia de Giliaco ) as early as 1170, when the parishes in the Isère Valley were first recorded . The place name goes back to the Gallo-Roman proper name Gillius . In Gilly there was a small rule in the Middle Ages, which was under the sovereignty of the Counts of Savoy and was elevated to baronnie in 1590 .
