Castra of Gunzenhausen, Roman military fort in Gunzenhausen, Germany.
The Castra of Gunzenhausen contains fortification walls, defensive ditches, and structural foundations that demonstrate advanced Roman military engineering techniques from the imperial period.
The fort served as a crucial defensive position along the Upper German-Raetian Limes, marking the northern frontier of the Roman Empire during its expansion into Germanic territories.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered numerous artifacts that provide detailed information about daily activities, military operations, and social interactions within Roman garrisons.
The archaeological site features informational panels in multiple languages, designated pathways, and regular guided tours that explain the military architecture and historical context.
The remains of this castrum form part of a UNESCO World Heritage network of Roman fortifications that extends through Bavaria, preserving evidence of frontier defense strategies.
