About this app

Few people know that the name of the Campona shopping center, famous for its Tropicarium, is not a fancy-sounding name, but rather the name of the nearby Roman auxiliary camp and settlement in Limesmen. It is also not well known that this camp was the scene of a historical event of imperial importance in the 4th century, which was also preserved in Roman historical tradition. After the discovery of this Roman military camp, known for a long time only from archaeological excavations, it slept its dream for 90 years, its area was overgrown by nature, and only experts and those interested in the local history of Nagytétény knew what a miracle the earth hides here. Recently, the opportunity has opened up for the general public to get to know this Roman-era fortress with spectacular ruins and an exciting history.
By creating an archaeological exhibition and visitor center in 2022, the Hungarian National Museum has set the goal of making this long-neglected monument available for tourism. All of this makes it possible to resume archaeological research on the site, and with the future development of the exhibition site, the ruins of the Roman fortress will also develop into a spectacular cultural and tourist destination.
