Archaeological Park Xanten
The 30 hectare archaeological park in Xanten is unique. Because the green areas and hedges were laid out in such a way that they reflect the layout of the former Roman settlement Ulpia Traiana. There are also numerous reconstructed buildings from Roman times and, as already mentioned, the LVR-Römer Museum, which opened in 2008. Numerous events also take place over the course of a year. Not to be forgotten is the park’s herb garden. But above all the reconstructed buildings catch the visitor’s eye immediately.
