The remains of the civilian city extend around the village Petronell-Carnuntum. There are several places to see in the civilian city: Roman city quarter in the open-air museum, palace ruins, amphitheatre, and "Heidentor" (the pagan gate).
The Roman city quarter was a peripheral part of the former civilian city. The ruins are exposed in the open-air museum directly in the present village. One of the ancient houses, called The House of Lucius, is being rebuilt using traditional techniques. It was opened to the public on 1 June 2006.
The center (forum) of the civilian city was next to the palace ruins, also referred to as large public baths.
Some way outside the city was the large amphitheatre, which had room for about 15,000 spectators. A plate with an inscription at the place claims that this was the 4th largest amphitheatre of the whole Roman Empire.
