Foro romano di Catania, Archaeological site in Catania, Italy.

The Roman Forum contains multiple vaulted chambers and architectural elements, including remains of opus reticulatum walls and architraved entrances near San Pantaleone courtyard.

During the 16th century, Lorenzo Bolano documented eight vaulted rooms to the south and four to the north, which later disappeared during the construction of Via del Corso.

The archaeological complex features storage spaces and shops that reflect the commercial functions of Roman public spaces in ancient Catania.

The site operates under the Regional Center of Cultural Sites in Catania, with guided tours available to explore the preserved Roman architectural structures.

Artifacts discovered at the forum, including a colossal Julio-Claudian emperor torso and limestone pavement, are now displayed at Castello Ursino.
