Gabonatároló - horreum római rom - Keszthely

I threw myself into this during the Balaton bypass bike tour. The ruins were overgrown with weeds, difficult to access.

Interesting remains, it is a pity that no information board is placed

A IV. Today, from the Roman fortress built in the 16th century, the walled walls of the gate, the three-aisled basilica (early Christian type) and the remains of the state warehouse can be seen. In the second third of the fourth century. It was then that the fortress of Valcum, ie Keszthely-Fenékpuszta, was built. During the migration, the fortress was almost always inhabited, so we can find interesting finds about the continuity, the further sharpening of the Romanized, antique culture population. The fort first appears on 18th-century maps, and then the first excavations began 125 years ago. A fortress town of three hundred and seventy-seven times three hundred and fifty-eight meters, protected by forty-four round towers, was built, twenty-two of its buildings were excavated in the twentieth century, and today the gate, the three-aisled basilica, and the remains of the state warehouse are well-preserved. even after the departure of the Romans. From 456 the settlement became the seat of the Eastern Goths, later the Avars settled Germans and Byzantines here. Around 630, the inhabitants left the city, but in the eighties they moved back into the protective walls. The settlement was finally destroyed by the conquering Hungarians at the beginning of the 10th century.

The ruins are just peeking out of the ground. It would be good to "update" the info boards. I hope that when the renovation of the small castle is completed, it will take place!

The place deserves a lot more attention and, of course, money (expenditure) and care. The ruins are almost barely visible, overgrown with weeds, grass, unfortunately.
