The Cambodunum Archaeological Park in Kempten (Allgäu) is a significant historical site that offers a unique insight into the Roman-era town of Cambodunum during the time of Emperor Augustus. The park, which is an excavation site and museum, has been open to the public since 1983. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing visitors to explore the remnants of a once-thriving Roman settlement.

Discovering the Three Distinct Areas of the Park

The Cambodunum Archaeological Park is divided into three distinct areas, each offering a different perspective of the Roman-era town. The Gallo-Roman temple district features five reconstructed buildings and a double hall, providing a glimpse into the religious practices of the time. The small thermal baths, equipped with a museum, offer insights into the daily life and hygiene practices of the Romans. Lastly, the forum, complete with a basilica, praetorium, barracks, and economic buildings, showcases the administrative and economic aspects of Cambodunum.

Participating in Events and Projects at the Park

The Cambodunum Archaeological Park offers more than just a chance to view the excavations. Visitors can also participate in various events and projects that are regularly organized at the park. These activities provide an interactive and engaging way to learn about the history and culture of the Roman-era town of Cambodunum.
