The (rather) old and the new (V)


Windisch (Roman name: Vindonissa), adjacent to Brugg, was home to a Roman legion camp from 17 to 101 AD. There are ruins all over the place and even now excavations for new construction lead to new finds. This is a view of the Amphitheater that accomodated 10,000 people. All around the ruin are relatively new homes and offices.
