You're standing at the Romano-Germanic Museum, right next to Cologne Cathedral. The building might not look like much, but it sits on a very special spot. Right beneath your feet stood a Roman town villa in the third century. Back then Cologne was called Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, CCAA for short, and the modern city is literally built on top of that Roman town.
