Viehmarkt Baths
Thermen am Viehmarkt
A Roman bath discovered beneath Viehmarkt Square and enclosed in a large glass box designed by Oswald Mathias Ungers. Visitors can see layers of remains from Roman times to the modern era.
When an underground car park was built beneath Viehmarkt Square in 1987, a 4th-century bath was discovered, along with the remains of a medieval monastery and modern cellars. The architect Ungers designed a glass protective structure, creating an 'archaeological window'. Standing on the square, you can look down through the glass at the ruins. Going inside lets you walk along walkways for a closer look. Admission is about 4 euros, and it is closed on Mondays. It is a small site, suitable for visitors interested in Roman remains. The surrounding square is a lively area of restaurants.
