Gorsium/Herculia, Archaeological site and open-air museum in Tác, Hungary

The excavated Roman settlement spans 400 hectares, featuring ancient walls, streets, public buildings, and detailed architectural remnants from multiple centuries.

The settlement evolved from a military camp into Gorsium around 103 CE, later renamed Herculia, serving as the administrative center of Lower Pannonia province.

Every spring, the archaeological park hosts Floralia celebrations to commemorate Emperor Septimius Severus's visit to the settlement in 202 CE.

The archaeological site maintains regular opening hours, providing guided tours through marked paths that connect different sections of the ancient Roman city.

The ruins include a preserved ancient theater stage, named Hadrian Stage, where contemporary performers recreate Roman musical performances during summer events.
