    A wonderful resting place in Roman style!

    Translated by Google •

      Artist Hans Lemmen designed a work of art on behalf of the province of Limburg that provides information about the archaeological value of the Roman cobblestone and the surrounding area. He does this by making the Roman past in Grootloon "visible" to the general public in a very special and artistic way.

      The benches, which consist of various seating elements, are in the form of a Roman villa with its gently sloping roofs and inward-opening gallery at the front. Just like the villas at the time, the benches are scattered across the landscape. With the facade facing south. The warm terracotta color refers to the color of the Roman roof tiles and bricks. The benches carry a three-dimensional indication of a different villa from the area on the sloping roof side. The imprint shows the map of a villa, the name of the place and the distance in kilometers en passus to the bank.
