Tusculum, Ancient archaeological site in Frascati, Italy.
The ruins of Tusculum spread across a hilltop, featuring a Roman theater, remnants of the forum, and sections of city walls from different periods.
The city existed from the 8th century BC until 1191 AD when Roman forces destroyed it due to its support for Frederick Barbarossa's militants.
The excavations at Tusculum reveal the evolution of Roman urban planning through preserved structures including public buildings, residential areas, and religious temples.
The archaeological site opens for guided tours from June through September, with visitors accessing the ruins through marked paths across four municipal territories.
The Roman theater stands as the most complete structure within the complex, maintaining its original architectural elements at an elevation of 670 meters.
