 "Augusta Raurica Fuehrung Villa Clavel 01 Foto Susanne Schenker")
As part of an exclusive tour, we will guide you through the house with its original interior whilst recounting stories about the Clavel family from Basel. A great connoisseur of antiquities, the wealthy patron wished to enable the wider public to experience Roman culture first-hand, which prompted him to donate the Roman house to “the people” in 1955.
