Domus del Chirurgo, Archaeological site in central Rimini, Italy
The Domus del Chirurgo is an archaeological site in central Rimini containing the preserved remains of a Roman residential building. The site sits within a large glass structure that covers it on Piazza Ferrari.
The building dates to the 2nd century AD and once housed a military physician named Eutyches. It was destroyed by fire, likely during Germanic incursions into the region.
The mosaics and frescoes inside reveal how wealthy Romans decorated their homes and what kinds of artistic details they valued. You can see how these decorations reflected the family's social standing and personal taste.
The site is accessible several days a week, with opening hours that vary depending on the season. It is best to check current times before your visit, particularly if you are planning to go during colder months.
More than 150 medical instruments were discovered here, representing one of the most complete sets of Roman surgical tools ever found in a single location. These tools offer a rare window into ancient medical practice and the daily work of a Roman physician.
