Rusellae, Archaeological park and ancient city in Grosseto, Italy.

The excavation site extends across two hills connected by a valley, containing the remains of Etruscan walls measuring over 3 kilometers in circumference.

The settlement originated in the 7th century BC as an Etruscan city before becoming a Roman municipality in 294 BC under Consul Lucius Postumius Megellus.

The archaeological area contains remains from different civilizations, including Villanovan artifacts, Etruscan structures, and Roman buildings such as thermal baths and an amphitheater.

The archaeological park maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year and provides educational tours focusing on Etruscan and Roman architectural techniques.

The site features a House of Mosaics that evolved from a residential building into a metallurgical workshop between the 4th and 7th centuries.
