From the first century BC to the fifth century AD, western Hungary was part of the Roman Empire. It was called Pannonia, and its largest town was Aquincum, the ancestor of Budapest. As the center of Pannonia, Aquincum played an important leading role. The excavated ruins date back to the second century, when the city had around 15,000 inhabitants. Remains of an amphitheater, mosaic floors, tombstones, statues and a reconstructed water-organ are the main attractions.
The first Roman ruins were found in 1778 by a wine maker. Luckily, the significance of the find was immediately recognized, and the remains were shortly identified as the Roman town of Aquincum. Since then, more of the area has been excavated; However, only one third of the former settlement has been unearthed. Besides Aquincum, Hercules Villa (accessible only as part of a guided tour) and Thermae Major (Big Bath, a former Roman bath complex) are open to the public.
Aquincum is located in the oldest part of Buddha, called Óbuda, which literally means Old Buddha. Óbuda was united with Buda and Pest in 1873. Today, Óbuda forms part of District 3. In addition to the several excavated Roman ruins, Óbuda also has a Baroque and a modern side. Its center, Fő tér (Main Square), is one of the most charming squares in the city. Budapest's Shipyard Island, which hosts the biggest annual music festival, the long Sziget festival, is also in this part of the city.
Getting to Aquincum: Take the HÉV (suburban railway) from Batthiány Square (at the M2 Subway station) to Aquincum
