Villa di Gianola

The maritime villa extends across the western section of Gianola promontory, featuring ancient cisterns, thermal baths, and a fish farming facility.

The villa complex dates back to Roman times and belonged to Mamurra, a powerful knight during Caesar's era who owned luxurious residences in the Gulf region.

The archaeological site contains an octagonal building that connects to other major hilltop monuments of the Gulf, including the Mausoleums of Munatius Plancus.

The site sits within Parco regionale di Gianola e Monte di Scauri, offering visitors access to both archaeological remains and natural coastal landscapes.

The villa includes the Cistern of 36 Columns and an ancient fish farming system built between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC near freshwater springs.
