Roman military fortifications across the border of the Roman Empire along the cozy riverside street of Dunakeszi, north of Budapest, at Dunasor 28-31. of houses number one. Here you can see a broken block of walls that few people knew for a long time belonged to the walls of a Roman fortress that had destroyed by a barbaric attack. Thanks to Dunakeszi's student body, there is now a notice board to draw attention to this.
However, the sights are not limited to this wall. In the gardens and basement of the Duna row house number 28, which has been declared a monument since 2004, thanks to exemplary cooperation, not only the high spectacular walls and a tower of this fortress can be seen, but also an exhibition presenting the fortress's history and archaeological findings.
The visible remains of the fortress could soon make Dunakeszi a UNESCO World Heritage Site , as the Hungarian section of the Imperial Danube Border is being declared a World Heritage site, and Hungary submitted it to the UNESCO World Heritage Center on January 31, 2018 . This list includes not only the forts on the right but also the forts on the left bank of the Danube, including your Dunakeszi Late Roman port danubetourism.eu/keso-romai-kikotoerod-kiallitas-dunakeszi
