Augusta Raurica, Roman archaeological site in Augst, Switzerland.
The extensive remains of Augusta Raurica include a theater, temples, baths, and houses spread across the south bank of the Rhine river near Basel.
Founded around 44 BC as a Roman colony, Augusta Raurica grew into a major urban center with 20,000 inhabitants before its destruction by Alemanni tribes in 260 AD.
The Roman Museum displays thousands of archaeological objects, including the silver treasure of Kaiseraugst, revealing daily life during the Roman period.
The archaeological park offers guided tours, educational workshops, and regular events throughout the year, with convenient access from Basel via public transportation.
Eighty percent of the Roman city remains unexcavated beneath the ground, making it the largest unexplored archaeological site north of the Alps.
