Veldidena, human settlement in Austria
Veldidena is a Roman settlement in Wilten, Innsbruck, with remains that include a fortified garrison and associated structures. The site was laid out as a square complex with watchtowers at the corners and thick stone walls that enclosed large storage halls for supplies and equipment.
The settlement was established about two thousand years ago when Roman forces conquered and fortified the region. The garrison was expanded over several phases to serve as a supply depot for the empire's border defense.
The site is easily accessible on foot from Wilten and lies within a residential area of the city center. Visitors should move slowly and view the preserved walls and structures from above or from the street level.
A wall painting on Leopoldstrasse depicts the ancient garrison in artistic form, created in the 1960s. This sgraffito merges art history with local heritage and preserves the image of the Roman site for today.
