Construction linked to the future MiQua Jewish #Museum in Cologne has brought to light a group of #Roman structures preserved in rare condition. The work focuses on an underground visitor passage beneath Rathausplatz, in the heart of the city’s historic center. Deep trenches cut through layers that usually vanish during later building phases. In this case, Roman deposits remained sealed beneath ancient backfills along the former slope of the Rhine.
