Area Archeologica di San Pietro degli Schiavoni, Archaeological site in central Brindisi, Italy.
This excavation area beneath Teatro Verdi sits in central Brindisi and reveals remains of Roman residential buildings and everyday objects. The finds show how people lived and worked in this ancient settlement over centuries.
The site was discovered during construction work in the 1960s and contains walls and structures built around 2000 years ago. These remains show how important this location was to the Roman city.
The neighborhood takes its name from a medieval church that served as a gathering place for Slavic and Albanian communities. The objects found here, from pottery to tools, tell stories of daily life in this multiethnic quarter.
Access to the archaeological zone goes through the modern theater building, which was specially designed to protect the excavation below. Visitors should expect that viewing times need to be coordinated with theater activities.
The theater building was deliberately constructed as a modern structure that protects the Roman layers beneath while allowing research to continue. This is an unusual example of how contemporary architecture and ancient remains coexist in the same space.
