Description
The Oppidum Ubiorum was a settlement by the Germanic tribe of the Ubii (19 BC). It represents the oldest predecessor settlement of today`s Cologne (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany).
The only visibel remaining part is the Ubiermonument (“monument of the Ubii“). The tuff stonework of this square stone tower is still preserved up to 6.50 m high. It was most likely the harbour tower or a fortification of the city wall.
The Ubiermonument can be visited in an underground museum hall.
