Horace's Villa

The Roman villa complex spans 43 by 113 meters, featuring residential quarters, gardens with surrounding porticos, and a bath complex on the eastern slope of Colle Rotondo.

The villa construction began during the Republican era in the 2nd century BC and underwent modifications until its abandonment in the 4th century AD.

The site contains black and white mosaics from the Flavian dynasty and the Rosone Lacunare, a detailed marble ceiling ornament displayed in Licenza's museum.

The archaeological park received 542 visitors in 2022 and maintains guided tours with information plaques explaining the architectural features and historical significance.

The villa's laconicum, a dry heat room, exhibits an unusual elliptical design with a hypocaust heating system found only in select imperial period structures.
