History

Over 2000 years ago, in today's Windisch, Vindonissa, the roman camp for legionary was found. Over time over 10 000 civilians settled around the camp. The 6000 legionnaires got ready for their missions to issue the roman emperor's commands. Today the remains of the only roman legionary camp in switzerland can be visited.

Themed tours and audioguides guide you to a sunken mediterranean officer's kitchen or the roman thermal bath, which was recreated with lights and flavours. Highlight is the still working water pipeline from which the fountain gets its water.
