Area archeologica la Fenice, Archaeological site in Senigallia, Italy
Description
Area archeologica la Fenice is an excavation in Senigallia with visible Roman streets, residential buildings, and an ancient marketplace with some stone pavement still intact. The exposed structures cover several hundred square meters and show street layouts and building foundations from Roman times.
History
The site was discovered in 1989 during renovation work at the La Fenice theater, revealing Roman ruins that marked the southern border of ancient Sena. This discovery showed that the area remained occupied over many centuries, with evidence from later burial practices.
Culture
The site reveals home buildings and a marketplace where people conducted daily commerce and lived about 2,000 years ago. The exposed walls and stone surfaces show how an active port town functioned and what mattered to its residents.
Practical
Access is available on specific days during set hours, and entry is free for everyone. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be aware that the ground can be difficult to navigate after rain or in bad weather.

Around 130 medieval graves rest in their original positions on the site, offering direct evidence of continuous habitation over time. These burials show that the land remained in use for this purpose even after the Roman period ended.
