Magdalensberg

Magdalensberg has served as a Celtic and Roman hilltop settlement in Carinthia since the 1st century BC. The mountain stands above the Klagenfurt Basin, north of the Drava, amid wooded ridges and cultivated valleys. Archaeological Park Magdalensberg preserves excavated streets, buildings and workshops from the settlement that developed in the Roman province of Noricum; it was long identified with Virunum, although the provincial capital was later established on the Zollfeld plain. Near the summit, the pilgrimage church of Saints Helen and Mary Magdalene adds a later religious layer to the site.
