Minturnae, Archaeological park in Minturno, Italy
Description
Minturnae is an archaeological park containing the remains of a Roman city with temples, baths, a theater, and a forum area. The site spreads across a large area with many ancient structures that have been partially excavated and made visible for visitors.
History
The site was founded as a Roman colony around 296 BCE and grew into an important port city along the Appian Way. This strategic location made it a center for trade and connections between Rome and southern Italy.
Culture
The museum displays objects from excavations that show how people lived and worked in this place. These items tell stories about everyday activities and the connections between communities around the Roman world.
Practical
The park grounds are quite large and require time to explore, especially if you want to see all the structures. Comfortable shoes are a good idea since you will walk over uneven surfaces and between excavated remains.
Did you know?
An actual section of the Appian Way with black basalt stones can still be seen here today. Alongside it, remains of a Roman aqueduct that carried water across long distances to supply the city are also visible.
