Castra of Sulz, Ancient Roman fort in Sulz am Neckar, Germany
The Roman military fortification stands on a strategic hill south of the present-day town center, commanding views over the Neckar River valley point.
The Romans constructed this fort around 74 CE as part of the Neckar-Odenwald-Limes frontier system to protect their territories in Germania Superior.
The fort structure demonstrates Roman military engineering methods, with remaining foundations revealing the standard layout of auxiliary troop accommodations.
The archaeological site contains information panels explaining the fort's layout, while nearby hiking trails connect visitors to other Roman frontier points.
The fort location directly correlates with ancient salt springs, which later became the foundation for medieval salt production in Sulz am Neckar.
