Xanten
Xanten developed from the Roman settlement Colonia Ulpia Traiana which for more than 400 years was one of the Empire’s most important strategic points. Today, one of the world’s largest archaeological open-air museums covers the area of the ancient settlement and preserves what careful excavations have unearthed. Faithful reconstructions built on the original foundations allow visitors to step into an amphitheatre, bathhouses, temples and more.
