Castra Bodobrica, Roman fort in Boppard, Germany.
The fort encompasses an area of 4.7 hectares with defensive walls measuring 308 meters by 154 meters, featuring 20 horseshoe-shaped towers placed at regular intervals.
The Romans constructed this military installation in the mid-4th century as part of the Donau-Iller-Rhein-Limes defense system until troops withdrew after 406 AD.
The transformation of the Celtic settlement Baudobriga into the Roman Castra Bodobrica reflects the regional influence of Roman military and administrative systems.
The archaeological site stands near Boppard's main train station, with sections of the fortress walls reaching heights of 9 meters still visible for examination.
The fortress walls remain among the most complete Roman defensive structures north of the Alps, with thicknesses ranging from 2.5 meters on the Rhine side to 3 meters inland.
