Parco archeologico di Centocelle, Archaeological park in Don Bosco, Rome, Italy

The Centocelle Archaeological Park is a 120-hectare green area in eastern Rome containing the remains of three Roman villas. The villas ad Duas Lauros, della Piscina, and delle Terme display extensive ruins with walls, floors, and column bases.

The villas were built during the Roman imperial period as residences for wealthy citizens. The site was later used in the early 1900s for experimental aviation activities.

The name Centocelle comes from the Latin Centum Cellae, the imperial property linked to the residence of Empress Helena, mother of Constantine. After the estate was donated to the Church, the Subaugusta suburbicarian diocese was established here. Visitors today walk a plateau where three Roman villas were excavated at the end of the 20th century.

Visitors can currently explore 33 hectares of the park, which borders Via Casilina to the north and Viale Togliatti to the east. The terrain is flat and easy to walk through.

The park's name comes from the imperial property Centum Cellae, meaning "hundred rooms", which later gave its name to the surrounding district. The three Roman villas found here are della Piscina, delle Terme and ad Duas Lauros, the last linked to a large imperial estate associated with Empress Helena.
