Brixen / Plose

At the moment, the fortress of Franzensfeste with its exhibition on “Bridge between North and South: Roman roads in South Tyrol” gives an insight into the extensive road network at Roman times in South Tyrol. For the Romans, the construction of roads was important as it made commerce as well as the movement of troops easier and it also contributed to the spreading of Roman culture. That is the peculiarity, like the one of the Via Claudia Augusta, that makes the focus of the exhibition. Important finds that were discovered along roads in South Tyrol are on display.
