Carnuntum, Archaeological park in Lower Austria, Austria.
The expansive 10-square-kilometer archaeological site features a complete Roman city with reconstructed buildings, ancient ruins, and military fortifications along the Danube River.
Established around 50 AD as a Roman legionary fortress, Carnuntum grew into the capital of Pannonia Superior province with 50,000 inhabitants during the second century.
The Museum Carnuntinum contains 2.8 million Roman artifacts, including 100,000 coins and 2,000 petroglyphs, documenting life between the first and fifth centuries.
Visitors can explore reconstructed Roman buildings, including the House of Lucius, public baths, and an amphitheater that accommodated 15,000 spectators.
The 2011 discovery of a gladiator school revealed detailed training facilities with heated floors, baths, and specialized exercise areas for combat preparation.
