The museum is reconstructing a wall along the original defenses of the establishment and a Roman house, as well as building a visitors? centre, a virtual amusement area and a Roman playground, said museum director Paula Zsidi. The project, supported with HUF 300 million in European Union funding and HUF 33 million from the Budapest city council, started in April and is expected to be completed in July 2011, he added.
An initiative has been adopted to create a unique World Heritage Site including the entire Roman limes as they stood in the 2nd century AD. Three properties have already been inscribed on the World Heritage list: Hadrian's Wall (1987), the Upper German and Raetian Limes (2005) and the Antonine Wall (2008).
"The Ripa Pannonica is being put forward as an extension to the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site because it fits well into the context of this World Heritage Site," according to the nomination.
