Even archaeologists are amazed when they come across historical finds in Carinthia. As is currently the case in Rosegg in Rosental. Researchers there have made another sensational discovery.

"For the past two weeks, we have been excavating a temple measuring around 300 square meters in the fields between the villages of St. Lambrecht and Emmersdorf, which was part of a sacred Roman district," explain project managers Stefan Pircher, Laura Pösendorfer and Josef Grilz-Seger "We only know of anything like this from the former Roman provincial capital of Virunum in the Zollfeld."
