The site of the Roman Museum

The foundations of the basilica, discovered in 1974, have since 1979 housed the Roman Museum which preserves and showcases the Roman remains of Nyon and its district.

It is located below ground level in the actual foundations of the administrative building of the 1^st century AD which closed off the Noviodunum forum to the east.  These masonry walls, preserved up to a height of two metres, provide the setting for the Museum and are its most prestigious feature.
