Archaeological Park Cambodunum

The Archaeological Park Cambodunum is an ancient site with remains of a Roman settlement spread across open grounds by the Iller River. The ruins show different sections including a temple, bathhouses, and marketplace areas that invite exploration.

The site was once the administrative center of a Roman province dating to the first century after Christ. In the 20th century, the grounds were excavated and developed as a park for visitors.

The temple district shows how Romans lived and prayed in this region. The reconstructed buildings give a sense of their religious beliefs and daily practices.

The grounds are accessible year-round but are best explored during warmer months. The open layout makes it easy to walk between different sections and read information panels.

At several points throughout the park, visitors can use a smartphone app to view digital reconstructions showing how the city looked 2000 years ago. This modern technology provides an immediate way to compare the current state of the ruins with their former appearance.
