Tiberius, who later became emperor, erected a fortified winter camp in the Carnuntum area in the year 6 AD – thereby founding one of the most important cities within the roman empire. Enjoy fabulous moments in the world of the Romans and be witness to the awakening of Rome’s metropolis on the Danube. Buildings that have been recreated down to the last detail, entertaining stories about their inhabitants of 2000 years ago, and highly enjoyable celebrations will take you back on a journey of discovery, to when world history was written in Carnuntum.
But that is only the beginning. Every year up to 2011 more and more of Carnuntum’s former splendour will be recreated. Watch our archaeologists as they reconstruct more magnificent buildings and gardens full of flowers – usually using technology that was known 2000 years ago. With the help of state-of-the-art animation you will soon be able to stroll through all those parts of the city that are still covered by soil.
