A central road and light-rail bridge between Heumarkt and Deutz – on a spot where the Romans already crossed the Rhine around 310 AD.
Hohe Pforte
The southern gate of the Roman city wall, through which the cardo maximus ran – today preserved only as a street name.
Praetorium – Roman Governor's Palace
The underground ruins of the Roman governor's palace beneath the old town – a striking testimony to the era when Cologne was a provincial capital.

Cologne's archaeological museum with the famous Dionysus mosaic and 2,000 years of finds – currently housed at the Belgisches Haus during renovation.
