Petronell (Carnuntum) - Open Air Museum and Gardens

Near the round church of Petronell extensive remains of the civilian settlement have been uncovered. Some of the houses in the ancient residential and business quarter have mosaic floors. This area has been made into an open air museum, and there are guided tours daily between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.; note especially the mosaic depicting Orpheus among the animals. In 1988 the foundations of a Temple of Diana were unearthed in the garden. This temple and an arcade have been reconstructed and can be visited (guided tours) as an archaeological museum. Near the garden, in what is known as the "Schüttkasten", can be seen some Roman reliefs, including gravestones from Carnuntum.
