Lauriacum

Lauriacum was a Roman military camp and civilian settlement located at the site of modern Enns in Upper Austria, known as a regional centre in the Roman province of Noricum. The site preserves archaeological remains and museum displays relating to its Roman past.

Established as a Roman military and administrative site, Lauriacum developed from a fortified camp into a civilian settlement during the Roman imperial period. Its importance stems from its role in provincial governance, military logistics and local economy under Roman rule.

The Roman remains lie at modern Enns in Upper Austria, situated on the Enns river; the archaeological area and museum are integrated into the urban fabric of the town.
