Barco Borghese, Archaeological site in Monte Porzio Catone, Italy.
The archaeological complex features a quadrangular platform with 190 vaulted underground rooms covering 16,000 square meters and connected by parallel corridors.
The structure originated as a Roman villa foundation and later transformed into a hunting reserve in 1567 when the Altemps family constructed country houses.
The underground chambers house an epigraphic collection from the Roman period, while the monumental facade with Doric columns serves as a concert venue.
Visitors need reservations for guided tours, available Friday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM in winter and 11:30 AM to 6:00 PM in summer.
The complex contains 180 rooms supported by barrel vaults, arranged around two Roman-era corridors that stretch through the underground structure.
