Area archeologica La Cuma

The archaeological complex includes a temple, a monumental portico with Doric and Ionic columns, and an intermediate structure arranged on artificial terraces.

The sanctuary was established during the mid-2nd century BC and remained active until its abandonment in the first half of the 1st century BC.

Archaeological excavations revealed terracotta decorations depicting Hercules and Potnia Theron, now preserved in the Monte Rinaldo Archaeological Museum.

Visitors can access the site through the Superintendency of Archaeological Heritage of Marche and combine their visit with the local museum.

The temple features a three-sectioned podium with measurements matching Vitruvius' specifications for Etruscan-Italic temples in De Architectura.
