Here you can still see a piece of the old wall that once surrounded the castle “Castra Regina”.

The large ashlar wall of the legionary camp also protected the early medieval town after the Romans left in the 5th century. Since the east side of the Roman wall served as a city wall even in the High Middle Ages and was repaired accordingly, large areas of the old ashlar wall have been preserved here. However, the inconsistent construction also shows that the camp wall was already modified in Roman times.
