Lonely Planet review for Praetorium
The Praetorium is the relics of a Roman governor's palace below the Renaissance Rathaus. The Praetorium will soon be part of a much larger subterranean archaeological museum that's taking shape beneath the Rathausplatz. Visitors will be able to get close-ups of remnants, ruins and foundations of both Roman Cologne and the Jewish quarter in their original locations. A 3-D model in the Praetorium illustrates the project that's expected to open in 2011.
