The capital of Lower Austria since 1986 is Sankt Pölten, the most recently designated capital town in Austria.

With a land area of 19,186 km (7,408 sq mi) and a population of 1.612 million people, it is the largest state in Austria, and in terms of population second only to the federal state of Vienna.

Roman City Carnuntum

Roman City of Carnuntum From the 1st to the 4th century AD, Carnuntum was a significant Roman metropolis on the border of the Roman Empire. Carnuntum became the capital of the province of Pannonia Superior with about 50,000 inhabitants, making it one of the biggest cities in the northern Empire. Because of its militarily vital location for securing the border and its proximity to key trade routes Carnuntum blossomed. Our goal is to vividly present the history and basic scientific research associated with the Roman City of Carnuntum. Antiquity comes alive again in the Roman city quarter with its reconstructed ancient buildings as well as in the amphitheaters and Museum Carnuntinum, the city’s treasure chamber.

My wife and I have visited hundreds of Roman ruins all over Europe. Yes we have walked the grounds of many historical sites, but we had never expierianced the the first hand walk through a Roman village. It is well worth the drive to visit here. Nice restaurant onsite also.
