Castra Novaesium, Roman military fort in Neuss, Germany.
The archaeological site of Novaesium extends across 24 hectares of land, featuring stone fortifications and structural remains of a Roman legionary base.
Established before 16 BCE by Drusus, Novaesium served as a strategic military installation for multiple Roman legions, including the Nineteenth Legion and V Alaudae.
The Clemens Sels Museum displays numerous artifacts from Novaesium, including pottery, tiles, and architectural elements that represent Roman military life.
Visitors can access guided tours of the archaeological site and learn about the Roman frontier system through informational displays and preserved structures.
The modern street layout of Neuss follows the original Roman road system established during the time of Novaesium's operation as a military base.
