Castra of Niederberg, Roman military fort near Koblenz, Germany.
The Castra of Niederberg contains stone foundations and defensive structures positioned along the Rhine river for territorial control and surveillance.
The fort was constructed around 100 AD during Emperor Domitian's reign to strengthen the Upper Germanic Limes and protect strategic Rhine-Moselle crossings.
The remnants of the fort demonstrate Roman military engineering techniques through the placement of walls, ditches, and strategic observation points.
Archaeological excavations in 2008 near the Kastor Church revealed sections of the fort's defensive ditches, confirming its exact location.
The fort includes remains of a pier bridge constructed with oak trunks and iron tips, demonstrating advanced Roman engineering methods.
