Archeological Park (UNESCO)

WHILE THIS MAY BE GERMANY’S largest open-air archeological museum, the Xanten Archaeological Park may also be the only park of its kind in the world.

Built on the site of ancient Roman Xanten, the museum has recreated a number of full scale buildings as they were in the time of the Romans.
