Our remit is to protect the Roman town of Augusta Raurica from destruction, to research and document it and to make it accessible to the public.

Augusta Raurica is one of the best-preserved Roman towns north of the Alps. It is therefore an important place of research, a monument of international appeal and thus draws a huge number of visitors.
