=== Historical remains ===
Few Roman remains are visible today; a fragment of the old city wall can be seen near the [[casino]] and the foundations of the [[amphitheatre]] are traced in the paving of the present-day Rembrandtstraat. The [[Valkhof Museum]], on the Valkhof, has a permanent display of the history of Nijmegen, including artifacts from the Roman era.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Collectie Museum Het Valkhof Nijmegen |url=https://www.museumhetvalkhof.nl/zien-en-doen/collectie/ |access-date=2022-10-21 |website=www.museumhetvalkhof.nl}}</ref> Additionally, they usually have temporary exhibitions of more and less famous artists. During building works in the Waalsprong area, ruins from before the Roman times were found which were identified in 2022 as those of a sauna. This 3,600 year-old sauna is the first of its kind in mainland Europe.<ref>{{Cite web |title=3,600-year-old sauna found in Nijmegen; Unique on mainland Europe |url=https://nltimes.nl/2022/09/28/3600-year-old-sauna-found-nijmegen-unique-mainland-europe |access-date=2022-10-21 |website=NL Times |language=en}}</ref>

Not many very old buildings are left in town: first the Americans bombed it in February 1944, later the Germans shelled it for about five months after the liberation in September 1944, and finally there were a number of vigorous city planners in the 1950s, 60s and 70s who finished the demolition. There are still a few noteworthy sights, however. Valkhof hill downtown features a Carolingian chapel (eighth, ninth century AD) and a small remainder of an imperial castle that was demolished in 1798. The 750-year old Stevenskerk had to be reconstructed after WWII.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Icon fullof stories {{!}} Stevenskerk Nijmegen |url=https://www.stevenskerk.nl/en |access-date=2022-10-21 |website=www.stevenskerk.nl |language=nl-nl}}</ref>
