Municipium Aelium Salla, Roman archaeological site in Zalalövő, Hungary

The archaeological remains include foundations of Roman buildings, streets, and defensive structures spread across the northern shore of the Zala river.

Emperor Hadrian established this settlement as Municipium Aelium Salla in 124 AD, granting it municipal status within the Roman Empire's administrative system.

The Salla Museum displays numerous artifacts discovered at the site, including pottery, coins, and tools that demonstrate daily life in Roman provincial territories.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking a four-hour train journey from Budapest to Zalalövő, with guided tours available from May through October.

Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of Roman military presence, including a camp that preceded the civilian settlement on the banks of the Zala river.
