Municipium Ivavum, Roman archaeological site in Altstadt, Austria
The excavated remains of Municipium Ivavum extend beneath the streets and buildings of modern Salzburg's historic district at 433 meters elevation.
Emperor Claudius elevated the settlement to Municipium Claudium Ivavum between 41 and 54 CE, establishing it as an autonomous city within the Roman province of Noricum.
Archaeological findings reveal that the city's population of 7,000 inhabitants included Romanized Celts, veterans, and Mediterranean immigrants across 35 hectares of urban space.
The preservation status as a protected monument ensures continued archaeological research and documentation of Roman structures beneath Salzburg's old town.
The settlement's location between three mountains along both sides of the Salzach River provided natural defense and facilitated trade through river crossings.
