Blanda, Archaeological site in Tortora, Italy

The excavation area at Blanda spans 5 hectares, featuring remnants of ancient structures, including a forum, basilica, and temples from Roman times.

The settlement evolved from an Oenotrian colony in the 6th century BCE to a Roman municipium, experiencing significant changes during the wars against Hannibal.

The archaeological discoveries at Blanda include Oenotrian funerary objects, lithic stele, and evidence of Roman religious practices through temple foundations.

The archaeological site contains preserved sections of streets laid out in an orthogonal pattern, allowing visitors to understand the Roman urban planning methods.

The water supply system of ancient Blanda incorporated multiple cisterns and springs, with portions still existing beneath modern roads.
