Casa protostorica di Fidene, Archaeological site in Fidene district, Rome, Italy
The rectangular dwelling measures 6.20 meters by 5.20 meters, featuring walls made of clay mixed with straw and crushed pottery reinforced with vertical posts.
Excavations between 1991 and 1993 uncovered a settlement from 850-800 BC, which was preserved when fire caused the structure's walls to collapse.
The interior layout includes storage jars, a central hearth, wooden beds, and evidence of daily life activities from Iron Age inhabitants of ancient Fidenae.
The archaeological site currently remains closed to visitors, but inquiries can be made through the Rome tourism office at 060608 from 9:00 to 19:00.
The site contained the skeletal remains of Italy's oldest documented domestic cat, which perished during the fire that destroyed the dwelling.
