Cologne Archeological Zone, Archaeological site in Altstadt-Nord, Germany.
The Cologne Archaeological Zone spans 10,000 square meters beneath Rathausplatz, containing preserved structures from Roman and medieval periods of the city.
Post-World War II excavations in 1953 revealed substantial Roman walls, leading to the preservation of archaeological features under specialized protective structures.
The archaeological complex integrates a Jewish Museum and includes the remains of a medieval mikveh, demonstrating the historical presence of Jewish communities.
The site remains temporarily closed while undergoing development into an integrated museum complex with 7,500 square meters of exhibition space.
The archaeological crypt allows visitors to descend by elevator to view components of the Roman governor's palace and ancient sewage systems.
