Archäologischer Garten
Archäologischer Garten, Archaeological site in Frankfurt Cathedral Hill, Germany
The Archaeological Garden displays ancient building foundations through three distinct levels, including Roman baths, a Carolingian palace, and medieval cellars.
The excavations, discovered during subway construction in 1972, revealed structures from Roman military settlements dating back to the 1st and 2nd centuries.
The site contains the remains of the Carolingian Imperial Palace built by Ludwig the Pious, featuring a grand rectangular hall with central pillars.
Guided tours take place every second Saturday of the month at 3 PM, starting at the Golden Scale entrance for a duration of 45 minutes.
The underground exhibition space includes a large bronze model showing the Carolingian palace complex as it appeared around 860 CE.
