More than 1700 years ago the Romans were forced to move the northern border of their empire back to the River Rhine and they built a fortification wall encircling the cathedral hill. The information point can be accessed using the archaeology key (available from the kiosk in Basel Cathedral). Tip: Make an archaeological tour in Basel: The free audio guide app ,,Archaeo Tour" shows you around original sites from the Celtic, Roman and medieval periods of Basel's history.
