Excavations of the Praetorium

If you are interested in the history of Cologne, then go to the Pretorium, where you can get acquainted with the life of the inhabitants of the Colony and see luxury goods, the ruins of the palace of the governor of Rome are waiting for you there.

Roman Pretorium

Traces of the Romans' stay in Cologne can be seen under the town hall building, where the ruins of the palace of the Roman governor (Latin Praetorium, German Prätorium - römischer Statthalterpalast), dating back to the I-IV centuries, were discovered. n e. This is the most significant Roman building on the Rhine.

Here you will see other exhibits dating back to Roman times. The Roman sewer system (Römischer Abwasserkanal), along which you can go and marvel at the skill of ancient engineers, is perfectly preserved.

Russian guide to Sicily: review of the Light from Palermo

I do not want to lie and write that we are personally acquainted with Sveta, a guide to Sicily from Palermo. That she conducted a city tour for me, so good that she decided to write a review about her on BlogoItaliano. Not. It was not so. Not at all like that. Neither this nor last summer I went to Sicily.
