Faragola Roman villa

The excavated Faragola villa spans 1200 square meters and contains thermal baths, dining rooms, and residential quarters from different construction periods.

The villa belonged to a senatorial family and was built upon earlier Daunian settlement remains from the 4th-3rd century BC and a Roman villa from the 1st-3rd century AD.

The summer dining room measures 128 square meters and features architectural elements that reflect the formal banquet traditions of late Roman aristocratic society.

Located 5 kilometers from ancient Ausculum along the via Aurelia Aeclanensis, the site connects to major Roman routes including the via Appia and via Traiana.

The thermal bath complex covers 1000 square meters and includes separate chambers for cold, warm, and hot bathing, demonstrating advanced Roman engineering techniques.
