Ancient city of Aquincum

Acincum, Aquincum
Hungary, Budapest
Aquincum is an ancient city that was located on the northeastern borders of Pannonia, a province of the Roman Empire. By the end of the 2nd century, the city was inhabited by about 30-40 thousand inhabitants, the city occupied a significant part of the territory of the modern district of Budapest, Obuda.

Two amphitheatres have been preserved in Aquincum: a large Military amphitheater (Amphitheater of Legionnaires, located a few kilometers south of the main part of Aquincum) and a small Civil amphitheater.

In 2002, Aquincum, together with the Buda Castle and Andrássy Avenue, was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

This is a museum for those who like to get to the bottom of things. Few people know that on the site of Budapest there was once a city founded in the 1st century AD. by the ancient Romans. Well, those who know visit the Aquincum Museum. The remains of Aquincum are scattered throughout Obuda. the museum covers a relatively small part of it. Excavations have been carried out on the territory of the museum for 120 years, as reported by a special flyer, which is issued along with the ticket. Tourist routes are specially marked on the flyer so that the unlucky tourist does not fall into some kind of hole.
