Ricina

Ricina is an archaeological area with remains of a Roman theater, funerary monuments, and marble reliefs from the first century. The open-air museum displays these remains along with digital panels and three-dimensional models.

The settlement received the status of a Roman colony in 205 AD and was named Helvia Ricina Pertinax. This honor came from Emperor Septimius Severus, showing the importance of the place in the Roman world.

The settlement was an important trading hub along a major ancient road. People from different regions gathered here and left marks of their customs in stones and inscriptions.

Visitors should reserve at least one day before their visit. The site is accessible and offers pathways to all areas of the open-air museum.

The museum offers three-dimensional tactile prints so visitors with visual impairments can explore the ancient structures through touch. Braille cards allow people to discover the history in their own way.
