Saalburg, Frankfurt Overview

Saalburg is a reconstructed Roman fort located in the Taunus Mountains near Frankfurt, Germany. The site features reconstructed buildings, including barracks, a granary, a praetorium, and a temple, showcasing the daily life of the Roman soldiers stationed there.

The Saalburg Fort was originally built in AD 90 and served as a crucial military base for the Roman Empire for over 150 years. After it fell into disrepair and was abandoned in the 3rd century AD, the site was rediscovered and restored in the late 19th century. Today, it offers an immersive educational experience for visitors of all ages.

Visitors to Saalburg can expect to explore the fort and its reconstructed buildings, interact with costumed actors portraying Roman soldiers, and learn about Roman history and culture. It is an ideal destination for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or the Roman Empire.
