Roman basilica, Roman civil basilica in Piazza del Foro, Brescia, Italy.

The Roman basilica in Piazza del Foro is a rectangular building with stone columns and ancient architectural features from the 1st century AD. This structure was part of a larger Roman complex, and its remains are still visible on the plaza today.

The basilica was built in the 1st century AD and served as a courthouse at the center of ancient Brixia. It stood beside the Capitoline temple, making it part of the city's most important civic and judicial spaces.

The basilica's front had three entrance portals and twelve windows alternating with Corinthian pilasters on Attic bases; the acanthus-leaf capitals and banded architrave are still visible on the outer walls. Inside, the single hall measured 47.80 by 19.10 metres, floored in white and grey marble in a grid of large squares, while the walls were clad in polychrome Asian and Greek marbles carrying votive and honorary plaques, tables and fountains.

The excavated remains lie behind the ancient basilica, in Piazza Giovanni Labus, not on Piazza del Foro itself. The 1993–1998 restoration exposed stretches of the original marble paving, both inside and outside, along with fragments of the facade. Part of the building now houses the archaeological superintendency and a small public museum displaying finds from the digs.

The 1993–1998 restoration uncovered large stretches of the original marble flooring, both inside and outside, along with well-preserved fragments of the facade. The building that had risen over the ruins was then converted into the seat of the archaeological superintendency, with part of it opened as a public museum displaying finds from the excavations.
