Germany: Xanten

Yesterday I got five postcards: three from Germany, one from Canada and one from the United Kingdom.

One of the cards from Germany shows the Archaeological Park in Xanten. The Archaeological Park is an open-air museum in Xanten with reconstructed Roman buildings of Colonia Ulpia Traiana. The construction of the park started in 1973. 

EDIT: As part of the Lower German Limes is Xanten since July 2021 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
