Lousonna, Archaeological site in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The archaeological excavations at Lousonna reveal extensive remains of Roman settlements, including foundations, roads, and numerous structural elements near Lake Geneva.
The ancient Roman city of Lousonna developed into a regional center during the first century CE, establishing trade connections across the surrounding territories.
The discoveries at Lousonna demonstrate the integration of Roman architectural practices with local Celtic traditions through recovered building materials and construction techniques.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site through regular bus services from Lausanne central station, with guided tours available upon reservation at the adjacent museum.
The excavated sections display an organized urban grid system with defined residential zones, workshops, and a port area connecting to Lake Geneva.
