Within the second century B.C. in Schwarzenbach/Lower Austria the celts built one of the biggest settlements of the Eastern Alpine region. Like many of the more important settlements of this time the one of Schwarzenbach was surrounded by a defensive wall built with wood, earth and stones.
The oppidum of Schwarzenbach extended over an area of about 15 hectares. It was defended by up to 10 m high walls, which still can be seen today as ramparts in the landscape. The hillfort also shows settlement structures dating to the Neolithic and the Bronze Age. VIAS rebuilt parts of the La Tène settlement in situ as an open air museum, that bases on the results of the research of VIAS in Schwarzenbach. It gives insights in every day life of the late Iron Age. |

The archaeological site of Carnuntum is located 45 km east of Vienna, close to the Slovakian border. As the Roman capital of the province Pannonia, Carnuntum was an important town during the first four centuries of the first millenium AD. Today, the archaeological remains are spread over an area of approximately 300 hectares within the modern communities of Bad Deutsch Altenburg and Petronell.
At the end of the 19th century excavations began and the Museum Carnuntinum was opened in 1904 in order to put Carnuntum’s finds on public display. In 1996 the Archaeological Park Carnuntum was opened and the witnesses of the former civilian city and civilian settlement became accessible to a large public for the first time in 1500 years. |
