Regensburg's Invisible Fortress: The Roman Blueprint

Beneath the Gothic spires and medieval alleys of Regensburg lies a secret geometric ghost: Castra Regina. This tour uncovers the massive Roman military fortress that still dictates the layout of the modern city. Join us to trace the walls of the Legio III Italica, hidden in parking garages and basements, and discover how a military machine transformed into a Bavarian cultural capital. We will explore how Roman wine became monastic beer, how a commander's headquarters became a Jewish Quarter, and how the city's very stones tell a story of empire, destruction, and rebirth.
