Area funeraria fuori Porta Decumana
Area funeraria fuori Porta Decumana, Roman necropolis and archaeological museum in Aosta, Italy.
Located 200 meters west of Porta Decumana, this archaeological site contains three rectangular mausoleums and an early Christian basilica dating from the fourth century.
The necropolis served as a burial ground during both Roman and early Christian periods, remaining active until the end of the first millennium.
The presence of both pagan and Christian graves within the same necropolis demonstrates the gradual transition between religious practices in ancient Aosta.
Visitors need to make advance reservations to access the site, and while photography for personal use is permitted, flash photography remains prohibited.
The burial complex features specialized memorial chambers called cellae memoriae, which showcase distinct architectural elements from the late Roman period.
