document Neupfarrplatz
An archaeological display beneath the central square of the old town, where you can see a Roman officer's house, the medieval Jewish quarter, and the remains of a synagogue.
When the square was redeveloped in the 1990s, excavators uncovered Roman-era buildings, the foundations of the medieval Jewish quarter destroyed in 1519, and a hoard of gold coins. The underground exhibition can only be visited on a guided tour, which includes multimedia commentary. Tickets cost about 5 euros, and sessions are limited, so check in advance. On the surface, a white memorial plaza marking the former synagogue was designed by an Israeli artist, and the Neupfarr Church in the center of the square can be visited for free.
