The first archaeological excavations in Dölsach near Lienz date back to 1912 and were carried out by the University of Vienna and the Austrian Archaeological Institute. Today the works are managed by the archaeological institute of the university of Innsbruck. During these excavations an entire Roman city was brought to light. It is supposed that this city flourished during the 1st and 2nd century AD before having been destroyed by the Bavarians and the Slavs in the 7th century when it belonged to the province of Noricum.
Besides the atrium and a thermal bath also the city walls and other elements can be admired at the nearby park Archäologischer Landschaftspark Aguntum in the AGUNTUM Stadt museum. An 18-metre-high panoramic tower in this area delights you with an impressive view of the Roman settlement.
In the adjacent AGUNTUM Stadt museum you can discover how everyday life was like in the Roman city Aguntum. Findings include a huge marble tub and they provide historic evidence of what life used to be almost 2,000 years ago. A special stamp and a 20-euro coin were dedicated to the famous Roman city.
