Three Tumuli in Tienen
Tienen was an important junction of Roman highways in Roman times.
Three Tumuli (Roman cemeteries for important people) remain here

These Tumuli can still be visited and provide a unique insight into the Roman history of Tienen. The largest of the three is over 5 meters high and has a diameter of almost 30 meters. This indicates that a very important person must have been buried here. The other two Tumuli are smaller, but no less impressive. It is special that these burial mounds have stood the test of time and have been preserved to this day. A visit to Tienen is not complete without taking a look at these beautiful remains from Roman times.
