Colombarone, Archaeological site in Pesaro, Italy

The archaeological complex contains remains of a late Roman villa with geometric mosaics and a subsequent Christian basilica near the Flaminia road.

Research at the site from 1983 to 2008 revealed a noble residence from the third century that transformed into the basilica of San Cristoforo ad Aquilam.

The Antiquarium displays artifacts including lead pipes, bronze items, glass pieces, and marble fragments that demonstrate the daily life of ancient inhabitants.

The archaeological area opened to visitors in 2016, followed by the Antiquarium museum in 2019, featuring multimedia presentations of the villa's original appearance.

The excavations uncovered a rare multi-light pendant chandelier alongside a collection of coins and liturgical glass chalices from the sixth century.
