Petronell (Carnuntum) - Legionary Camp and Town

East of Petronell lie the Roman legionary camp and town (Canabae). The remains of the military fortress of Carnuntum, which was some 475m/520yds long and 335-400/370-440yds across, have been partially uncovered. (The main road between Vienna and Hainburg (B9) cuts right through it). Near the Danube-Marchauen nature reserve will be found the "porta principalis dextra" (right hand camp gate). In the northeastern corner of the camp a sewage canal, which crossed a water pipe, has been preserved. When excavating about 1km/0.75mi to the west of the legionary camp a second auxiliary camp was found, together with a bath complex.
