The amphitheatre on display
Discovery Sundays
Sunday 19 January - 15h
In June 1996, Roman walls were uncovered by a mechanical excavator on rue de la Porcelaine in Nyon. The curve of the wall leaves no doubt as to the nature of the building unearthed: it is the Noviodunum amphitheatre. Twenty-eight years later, the Roman Museum of Nyon is revisiting the photographs taken during the excavation of the monument by Archeodunum Investigations Archéologiques SA. Several displays in the town of Nyon showcase these images, which highlight the work of the archaeologists.
Discover these photographs and relive the excavation of the amphitheatre with a guide from Nyon’s Roman Museum.
The tour starts at Nyon railway station, where you’ll find the posters below. It includes a visit to the amphitheatre site and ends at the Roman Museum in Nyon.
