Sebatum

Sebatum is an archaeological site in St. Lorenzen that preserves the remains of an ancient roadside inn serving travelers in Roman times. The attached museum displays across three floors tools, coins, pottery and other items that document how people lived and worked here.

The site developed as a rest station on a major route through the Dolomites and was part of the Roman road network connecting different regions. It saw occupation across several periods, leaving traces of both Roman and earlier local cultures.

The museum displays objects from daily life of Roman and pre-Roman inhabitants, showing how people here worked and worshipped. Through these artifacts you can see how much the Romans and local communities influenced each other.

The site is best reached on foot and offers guided tours for visitors of all ages. Special programs for school groups help visitors understand the Roman period more deeply.

Looking closely at the excavated ground, you can still see the outlines of old foundations and road patterns that reveal the importance of this junction point. The combination of exposed ruins and museum objects shows how much this place mattered to different peoples passing through.
