Kastell Miltenberg-Altstadt, Roman fortification site near Main River in Miltenberg, Germany.
The archaeological site contains remnants of a square fort measuring 170 by 160 meters with four gates and 22 defensive towers.
Constructed around 159/160 CE as part of Germania Superior province, the fort served military purposes until Roman forces withdrew in 260 CE.
The excavated military bathhouse and central command building provide evidence of daily Roman military life along the Main Limes frontier.
The archaeological grounds remain accessible from sunrise to sunset, with recovered artifacts displayed at the Museum Stadt Miltenberg.
Medieval settlers established the community of Wallhausen directly upon the former Roman fort, leading to the local name Altstadt.
