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.

You have total access to walk around free of charge. Most of the remains are in ruins and there’s a circular mound of dirt. Still, there are some walls and there is a gladiator school nearby. Being able to walk though is historic.
