Vindobona, Roman military settlement in Vienna, Austria
The military base stretched across modern Vienna's First District, featuring stone walls, barracks, and defensive structures along the Danube River frontline.
Founded in 100 AD as part of the Roman Empire's expansion into Pannonia, Vindobona housed 6,000 soldiers who protected the northern frontier against Germanic tribes.
The settlement integrated Roman architectural principles, military organization, and urban planning, which influenced the current layout of Vienna's streets and squares.
Visitors can explore Roman ruins at Michaelerplatz and the Römermuseum, which display artifacts and architectural remains from the ancient settlement.
Emperor Marcus Aurelius spent his final days in Vindobona in 180 AD while commanding military operations against northern tribes.
