Maastricht Roman castrum, Roman castellum in Binnenstad, Netherlands
The Roman castellum spans over 1.5 hectares with ten defensive towers and two gates near the Meuse River crossing point.
Constantine ordered the construction of this military fortress in 333 CE to protect the strategic bridge crossing at Traiectum ad Mosam.
Archaeological excavations in the Stokstraat quarter reveal the influence of Roman engineering on medieval urban development through preserved street patterns.
Visitors can examine the archaeological remains in the Derlon Museum cellar and the courtyard of the Basilica of Our Lady.
The fortress walls, built with local sandstone blocks of 230 cm thickness, maintained their structural presence until the 10th century.
